Meet Travis
"Southern State means different things to different people. For some, it is a starting point in the pursuit of a four-year degree. For others, it is a place to reinvent themselves, rejuvenate their career, or finish a degree started long ago. With a diverse community of learners, Southern State is such a great place to learn."
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
In an inspiring testament to the value of higher education, Shawn Gall, of Hillsboro, decided to return to school to pursue a degree in business, having a passion for learning and a commitment to personal and professional growth. After the non-profit organization Shawn had worked at for 20 years closed due to lack of funding, she was blessed with the opportunity to return to school and finally earn her degree. "I decided on Southern State because I could schedule my classes around my job search and family obligations," Shawn said. Shawn enrolled in the business pathway at Southern State, taking mostly online courses with a focus on accounting. "What I loved most about Southern State was how accessible the instructors were," Shawn said. "I felt very comfortable that if I needed to reach out to them, they would respond, usually very quickly." She recalls every encounter, even with the staff, to be pleasant and helpful. "The entire College genuinely cares and wants to see all students succeed," Shawn said. "I highly recommend Southern State to those who want to better themselves no matter their age." Fast forward to now, Shawn is a proud graduate and could not be happier with the decision she made to attend Southern State. With her Associate of Applied Business Degree in accounting, Shawn is working in a career she loves. "It’s never too late to chase your dreams," Shawn emphasized. "I encourage anyone considering furthering their education to take that leap of faith."
Shawn Gall | Southern State Graduate
"After high school, I knew I wanted to pursue a college degree but was determined to avoid the debt that often comes with it. I chose the Business Management program at Southern State, which allowed me to work while studying, making it possible to balance both without accumulating debt. My instructors in the program were empathetic and genuinely invested in my success. I love everything the school stands for. So much so, I now work here full-time. Thank you, Southern State, for both my education and my career."
