“I never truly believed college was an option—let alone nursing school.”

This spring, Elizabeth Gardner will graduate from Great Bay Community College’s Nursing program as part of the Class of 2026.

Inspired by her mother, Ann, who graduated from the same program in 2022, Elizabeth followed a path shaped by determination, family support, and perseverance. While balancing nursing school, work, and raising her child, she found encouragement from faculty and the GBCC community every step of the way.

Her story is a powerful reminder that there is no single path to success and that support can make all the difference.
