Belonging and Campus Resources with Jordan

Transcript

Jordan, a freshman from Lingle, Wyoming appreciates the welcoming atmosphere at Casper College, and has made wonderful friends along the way. As a psychology major, she has also been able to pursue her passion for music, and was even awarded a music scholarship. Jordan, we cannot wait to hear about your experience, please take it away.

– Thanks, Alex. My high school was small, so I didn’t always fit in. I had some pretty serious mental health issues at the time, and school was one of the reasons. Thankfully, I got help from my fantastic counselor who inspired my degree choice in psychology. Casper College has always been a great option for me, and I’m so glad I’m attending school here. When I first stepped foot on campus, I could tell right away that this was a wonderful environment. The staff is terrific. The students are all so diverse, and everyone is so accepting. I have a great group of friends who love to go on late night drives and spend hours longboarding on campus. My roommate, Alexa, is one of the most amazing people I’ve met, and I’m so lucky to have someone like her to make me feel like I belong. I’m currently on a music scholarship, which is amazing. I’m making the best memories in the two choirs I’m in, and the voice lessons I’m taking. ♪ The pine and fir ♪ ♪ Their branches low ♪ I couldn’t be more grateful to be granted such an amazing opportunity. No matter who you are, you belong here, I promise. If you need somewhere to go, Casper College is one of the most accepting places. This campus has many resources like a STEM lab and a writing center, but the one thing we’re most privileged to have is our campus counselors, who will help you through anything. At Casper College, you are not alone. After graduation, I plan to go to the University of Wyoming to pursue my degree in psychology, and become a therapist to help others just like my counselor helped me. Casper College is a key element in this, and I believe everybody here will do amazing things when they leave. Well, that’s it. Back to you, Alex.

– Jordan, thank you for sharing your experiences. For the 2023, 24 school year alone, Casper College and the Casper College Foundation provided nearly $14 million in financial aid. Absolutely incredible. Keep up the great work, Jordan, and thanks again.
