Success stories

Outstanding Education for Remarkable Careers

We're committed to helping our graduates make an impact in their professional and personal lives. We applaud our alumni and the difference they make. Check out what some of our Tampa graduates have to say.

Allyson Obluck
Class of '17
Associate of Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant-South University, Tampa
“I wanted to make a difference and I knew occupational therapy was a hands-on way to improve quality of life for many people. My professors always made the effort to ensure that I understood the material and were constantly encouraging me to be better and do better. All of my experiences throughout my clinical rotations challenged me to think outside the box and to trust my instincts.”

Gina Lugo
Class of ’21 & ‘23
Bachelor of Science in Public Health & Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Healthcare Administration, South University, Tampa
“The teachers pushed me towards completion. They never doubted me on any level and accommodated my learning style.”

Laura Skrodzki
Class of '09
Bachelor of Science in Nursing-South University, Tampa
“I like people, and sometimes taking time to listen to patients who are hurting can be just as valuable in their healing process as administering medicine. South University's nursing program has taught me how to help patients, not only by addressing their medical issues, but also by taking an interest in their relationships and well-being outside the hospital. Patients are husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and children.”

Charrita Ernewein
Class of ‘12 and ‘15
Master of Science in Nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice-South University, Tampa
“Being a military wife, I had the opportunity to work all over as a nurse in many specialties. Now that my children are older, I am focused on helping others, training the next generation of nurses and nurse practitioners, fighting human trafficking and influencing the policies that affect my profession. Read more”

Lisa Godwin
Class of '09
Bachelor of Science in Nursing-South University, Tampa
“When I graduated, I passed the NCLEX and quickly got a great job as an RN. I felt very prepared for my new role and within less than five months, I was a charge nurse for a 36-bed med-surg unit. I'm very glad I chose South University for the start of my nursing career. My education gave me a great foundation and has made me a better nurse and practitioner.”
