Justin Sell Feature<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Justin<\/p>\n

We have been highlighting our students through a new video series titled \u201cGriffon Voices\u201d and want to highlight a very inspirational story. We are honored to share Justin\u2019s journey of determination, hard work, honesty, and community. As a full-time student facing homelessness, Justin contemplated dropping out. Through Pivotal Pointe Transitional Housing he was able to secure a place to live where he could reflect and plan his future. Now, he is a full-time student in our nursing program and is on the path to graduation.<\/p>\n
