We want to give a quick shout to our partners who support The Career Center Campus HOSA. Thank you to the The Colorado Trust, Western Colorado Area Health Education Center, and D51 Foundation "Bloom Where You Are Planted," for supporting our wonderful, talented, future, health professionals.

Companion Animal Care students have been out in our community making a difference. Some students have completed volunteer orientations at Roice-Hurst and are starting to volunteer weekly this month. The students will be assisting Roice-Hurst in their March surgery days learning the ins and outs of how much Roice-Hurst does for our community, We are also excited to announce that we are finishing up the orientation at Mesa County Animal Shelter and will be volunteering there weekly starting this month as well. This is such exciting news for our students in our program, this really puts them on the career path to loving, learning, and caring for our animals!
