Student Spotlight: Vanessa Medina, Medical Assisting Student

IBMC College in Greeley recognizes student achievement every 10 weeks at our Student Appreciation Assemblies. Those students that demonstrate excellence in their classes and exhibit an overall  passion for their future career opportunities.
