Jean Perry '92

I decided to go to Long Beach State to get my master's in public health because I needed the information to become a nurse epidemiologist. I took day classes and my hospital was very generous in giving me the time to get what I needed. I remember one professor in particular who was very helpful and stayed on my back until I finished my paper. Getting my master's at Long Beach State changed me as a person and helped me practice more effectively and efficiently in my role as a nurse practitioner. I still drive through the campus when I'm in the area and I have fond memories of the interaction between the younger and older students. Long Beach State put me on the right path and I am grateful for the experience.
