Keynote Speaker @ Virtual Commencement

Tonika Smith
HPOG Participant
B.S. Public Health, May 2021
Chicago State University

Following her desire to make life changes, Tonika Smith decided to move back to Illinois from Minnesota. She abandoned her apartment and current job and returned to suburban Chicago in search of something better. While researching employment and training opportunities, Tonika saw a flyer about the STEP UP Program and decided to get more information. She was intrigued about HPOG due to its emphasis on training and educational opportunities in healthcare. She went to an orientation session at Metropolitan Family Services – Calumet office and was accepted into the program. Ms. Smith endured many twists and turns along the way in her educational journey and persevered. The HPOG staff was there to offer her resources, guidance and support over the years. Today, she stands as a proud graduate with her B.S in Public Health from Chicago State University. “Trouble don’t last always.”
