Current JWCC adult student Maranda Mize shared her journey. Mize is a Surg Tech student who started attending late in life after spending 20 years as a stay-at-home mom and wife. She is excited to return to school and finds John Wood has helped her find herself again. As her children near the end of their high school education, John Wood has stepped in and helped her son through dual enrollment classes. Mize said, “The JWCC staff has been very helpful in working with her schedule and getting her accommodated in the classroom again.”
Summer and Fall registration are available during the College Connections event. This event is free and open to the public. Please call or text 217.393.8400 for more information.
