After graduating with a public relations degree, Travis Joyce never expected to change careers. But while caring for a family member, something clicked. “It showed me that caring for people is something I really enjoy and it is very rewarding.” That experience led Travis to Alfred State’s dual degree nursing program where he is working to earn both his associate and bachelor’s degrees in just four years. Today, Travis is learning by doing. From practicing his skills in labs to working with real patients and healthcare professionals in hospital clinicals. “The professors are amazing. They are available whenever you need them and they are welcoming and warm. They are very caring, it shows, and it is beneficial.” Travis’s full Pioneer PROfile is available now.
