PATHS’ impact doesn’t end with our students; we also affect our local and campus communities:
PATHS Impact
University Pathways
Education can be a tool to empower others. By showing others that being “educated” has its benefits it’ll push them to work hard. Education increases your ability to comprehend things and gives you a voice. Even though I am still not sure of the profession I want to be a part of, I know that whatever I become I will never forget about my community and where I come from, and I will always return. I’ll use my education to empower others, to show them that anything is possible.”
Teresa, class of 2021
