Student Success Stories
Outstanding EMT
Benchmark student, Laura G., was recently awarded the Outstanding Clinical Certificate and a medal for Outstanding Student after completing her clinical trials through Crafton Hills College Emergency Medical Technician Program.
Gary Reese, lead instructor for the EMT program at Crafton Hills College, said, "The enthusiasm and dedication that I witnessed in Laura over the past 18 weeks were up and beyond the call of duty. The compassions she showed her colleagues, the profession and the willingness to serve the communities, are true signs of success. This is the reason we are all here and that is to serve the community and be that of a patient advocate."
Laura currently has a cumulative GPA of 3.8 and is working toward completing her general education requirements, then transferring to a university to complete her Bachelor of Science degree.
