"The Health Science program at Saint Elizabeth University has given me a strong foundation in understanding health, wellness, and the systems that support patient care. The courses challenge me to think critically about real-world health issues while preparing me for a future career in the healthcare field. Being part of this program has helped me grow academically and has strengthened my passion for helping others through health and service."

"I've earned both theoretical knowledge and practical experience while at SEU," explains Sister Prudencia. "I've attended seminars on healthcare, interned at Trinitas Regional Medical Center, learned from health care practitioners and developed the strategies necessary to run a clinic properly."
Sister Prudencia Ahanonu, '19
Morristown, N.J. (February 26, 2019) – Sister Prudencia Ahanonu, '19, has not returned to her native Nigeria in four years,
but she still feels like she's been home every single day.
"I miss being in Nigeria because I haven't seen my family, but I don't really miss
it too much because I have a family here," says Sister Prudencia, who entered the
convent shortly after high school. "Saint Elizabeth University is a home, you just
don't feel like you are alone."
A member of the Holy Sisters of the Needy in Africa, Sister Prudencia has dedicated
her entire life to service. Prior to attending SEU, she spent six years volunteering
at an orphanage that doubled as a care facility for physically disabled children.
In order to better assist the unique needs of these children, Sister Prudencia decided
to study both health administration and psychology at SEU.
"I've earned both theoretical knowledge and practical experience while at SEU," explains
Sister Prudencia. "I've attended seminars on healthcare, interned at Trinitas Regional
Medical Center, learned from healthcare practitioners and developed the strategies
necessary to run a clinic properly."
Upon graduating, Sister Prudencia hopes to return to Nigeria and implement an extensive
community outreach program to educate people about the importance of medical care.
"Many people in Nigeria, especially in rural villages, don't use modern medicine,"
says Sister Prudencia. "They rely on traditional methods because they aren't aware
of the importance of current treatments, but I want to change that."
Sister Prudencia credits the Sisters of Charity and SEU's generous donors with affording
her the ability to attend college and move closer to her goal of accessible healthcare
for all Nigerians.
