Brockton-born exercise science major Fabyanno Furbino was having second thoughts. “He mentioned to me that he had recently been thinking about a career in nursing,” recalls his advisor, Health and Fitness Studies Associate Professor Elizabeth Conant. Fabyanno was in her first year seminar course and she recalled thinking “he was a great leader and had a very promising future…but he was disappointed because he thought it was too late. I told him ‘No way!,’ and that, for a strong student like him, applying for acceptance into the program would be tough, but definitely still possible. He was thrilled.”
