I started a jewelry business at Bay Path when I won an entrepreneurial spirit award for $2,500.

It never would have happened if I hadn't come here.  That's what a women's college does for you.  It empowers you to feel that you can accomplish anything.  And your life expectations aren't downsized.  I've had incredible support here at Bay Path, and I can truly say that for every student here they have a 'go to' person, or mentor, who's there for them.  My mentor guided me to take my passion for art and jewelry…apply for an entrepreneurial spirit award…and then use that award to develop my jewelry business.  In all honesty, I've learned that if you decide to focus on what you want and work for it, Bay Path College will help and support you along the way.
