Cobra Vang: Affordability puts nursing career within reach

Cobra Vang: Affordability puts nursing career within reach

| By: Britten, Casey

Cobra Vang wants to make a positive change in the world and provide for his family, so he’s studying to become a nurse.

He chose Fox Valley Technical College for its affordability and hands-on classes, but in the process has found a home away from home. “When I’m here, I’m not a number,” he says. “Instructors here actually know my name and why I’m here. They want me to succeed.”
