“I learned of Pierpont’s ASL program through one of my customers who is currently enrolled. I have always dabbled in sign language, but just enough though that when I welcomed an employee to the shop who needs those accommodations, I confused everybody. We had masks on, she couldn’t read my lips, and I knew just enough to confuse us both.
“She taught me so much over the first couple of years, but we both agreed that I would get a more well-rounded education through a program like the one offered at Pierpont. She said she could tell within the first couple of weeks that I was learning and improving, and now I’m in my third semester of the program.
Pierpont is really concerned with helping students get a quality education, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make the journey possible financially.”

“I chose Pierpont because of the professor-student connection that is formed to help us succeed in all areas of life. My plan going into my last semester at Pierpont is to help create and start a new state-of-the-art holistic wellness center to provide true healing options for West Virginians.”
