Antioch’s Bridge Program Changes the Course of Janine Betts’ Life
Janine Betts comes from a family of educated women, but she says choices that she made earlier in her life prevented her from earning a degree. When she decided that she was ready to go to college, an opportunity with Antioch University’s Bridge Program helped her make her dream come true and even beyond.
“I am grateful,” said Betts, who earned her BA in Liberal Studies in 2017 and then her MA in Clinical Psychology in 2019, both from Antioch. She was chosen to serve as the student speaker for the MA in Clinical Psychology at the Commencement ceremony. “I am really, really grateful for the people who believed in me.”
In 2012, at age 50, Betts began her journey with Antioch, starting with the Bridge program, which provides University level education for students who may not otherwise have access to higher education.
