CSM allowed me to start my journey off debt free, which is irreplaceable. I wouldn't be here where I am doing something so important had it not been from where I started. I owe a lot to CSM. It helped me focus on becoming a nurse and learning what that meant instead of having to be bogged down by debt.
Vascular Nurse, Surgical Associates
I wasn't really happy, and that really hit me when I was in my later 30s. I really needed to do something with my life. And when I enrolled at the College of Southern Maryland, they helped me find out and discover what I'm truly passionate about.
Video Production Specialist, Charles County Government
CSM was a pathway to success for me in my life. It was a pathway from dysfunction to function. It was a pathway from lack of confidence to confidence. It gave me excellent professors. It gave me a growth opportunity. It was a great place for me.
Principal, Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center
Two years before I decided I was going to leave the military, I started looking into going back to school and start using my GI bill. I was able to come to school and not worry about when the funding was going to come in. This is where everything started for me here. CSM provided a bridge for me from military life to the career that I have now.
Director of Nuclear Security & Compliance, InfraShield
I love advocating for people. I love seeing that people were able to get the care that they deserve. I didn't want to stay in a place where I was serving half-heartedly. I wanted to give it 100%. So, I knew that administration was going to be the best place to go where I could still be able to advocate for patient health. The people at CSM have always shown up. They go above and beyond.
Medical Administrative Assistant
CSM is one of those rare places where you feel like you instantly fit in. I felt comfortable immediately having that network of support. I encountered several people who helped me along that path. I took my first course at CSM in journalism and I just was hooked and I thought, you know what, this is what I want to do. I found the career that I'm in today because of CSM.
Director of Communications and Media Relations, Charles County Public Schools
