18 Best Absn Programs In San Antonio, TX (2022 Updated)

I went to this school in 2007 for an Associate's of Applied Science in Business Office Administration. I completed the program and obtained my degree. Five years later I am still without a job that pertains to my degree. Any employer I go to does not even bother to ask about the degree or seem to care that I have one. It's like having two high school diplomas when you only needed one in the first place. I used Hallmark's career placement services twice and they stopped trying to help me within one month of attempting to utilize their services and were not successful in job placement, which is supposed to be their own job! I have been working customer service jobs with no opportunity for advancement that pay just above minimum wage ever since thanks to Hallmark. I have been using the Texas Workforce to find me the right job with the right pay and am currently receiving unemployment. I am also in the process of trying to get my student loans forgiven, as they have only put me in debt instead of led me down the path towards a happy career. Do not attend this school, it is like high school all over again! Go to one of the Alamo Colleges instead, your money is better invested there! If I would've known I was paying 18k for a useless piece of paper that got me nowhere, I would've told these scammers to shove it a long time ago! Seriously, Alamo Colleges is the way to go! For a better future, go to a REAL college!Amy Love

Hallmark College has give me the tools and necessary knowledge to go and get a job. I graduated back in 1999. As I continue gaining experience and qualifications throughout the years in my aviation career, I keep learning more and moving up the technician ladder. There is no limits in how much you can earn with an AAS in Aviation. I have worked overseas for the past 10 years making a comfortable living . I can pretty much select the company I want to work for or the Country that will be my next home. Seen my work success with just an Associate's degree I decided to finish my Bachelor's with Hallmark and I did! (06/15 ) I did not take any breaks after my graduation I just started my Masters with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Hallmark helped me to reach my goals. You must persevere and focus on what works for you. Do not let others discourage you because they were unsuccessful. You will get an opportunity within time, just make sure you posses the tools and necessary accreditation's (Degree) to do the job. Just be serious about your future and school, do your homework and study. Work on your resume and interview. This is my story and I hope to bring some light to all these hating comments. You be the judge….Jess Jara

Hallmark University College of Aeronautics is a great place to gain knowledge in becoming a Aviation Maintenance Technician. I am currently in my 2nd term here and I could not be more pleased with the professionalism of the university. All of the instructors are incredibly helpful and have years of experience in aviation. The overall curriculum is very fast paced in order for us to get our degree and A&P license quicker, so you must be very dedicated and focused on keeping up in class or you could be quickly left behind. The school has different companies in the aviation field come regularly to recruit students to come work for their company all over the country which gives us many great options once we graduate. Overall, I would recommend this school over any other to anyone who wants to build a career in Aviation Maintenance. I personally moved here to San Antonio from Salt Lake City, UT just to get my education at Hallmark because of the widely known prestige of the school. Gaining your Associates Degree and your A&P license from Hallmark will definitely set you up for a very successful future!William Skelton

My automobile was hit in the school parking lot and no one claimed accountability. Several days later my son (and 2 other people) witnessed one of the instructors hit another vehicle and just drive away. My son reported the incident to the school. Almost graduation time for him and now, because he reported this incident and he did complain that his current instructor gave assignments to do and then tested but they felt they were not being instructed. No class discussion regarding anything. You read, you test. My son made good grades and loved learning. Reward for being honest is that he is not allowed in class now. He has wasted his time with you. You got one star just because you are there.Phyllis Hilyard

This institute does not have a Laboratory program. What you learn here doesn’t count as medical laboratory credits towards a lab tech degree. When I look up training programs for Medical lab unfortunately this pops up. I’ve already spoke to Admin there regarding what I was seeking. They informed me they were doing the same Medical Lab degree and that Lamson isn’t the program for that. For months Lamson has called me claiming to have a Lab program. The recruiters have no idea what curriculum Lamson has apparently, only that they need as many bodies as they can in a room. Being perfectly willing to take my money and mess up my future for an extra body is foul on top of the phone calls.J Awrwah

Instructors are top notch but the admin team is absolutely, depressingly, inadequate and disrespectful. Theres nothing like paying Lamson to come here and be treated like a child. Like an employee. Youre not listened too and youre made to do your teachers job and jumps through hoops to verify your attendance. Typically this is something that the instructor is responsible for but Lamson thinks that's too hard. So you, the student, the customer, are required to do their work for them and when you dont they seek to belittle and degrade you. Not to mention they have no problem calling your apartment or your job seeking info without your knowledge or permission.Lance Taylor

It saddens me to write this as I had VERY high hopes in WBU… I called the business office today and lets just say professionalism and the representation of WBU was NOT implemented (Ms. Takira). Literally two minutes ago I was told that I’d owe money to WBU due to one class taken however, as I kindly explained no advisor or anyone in the business office nor financial aide office contacted me to explain this otherwise I would have taken more than one class. This new information is disheartening and does not benefit the student. As a Baptists University no one should be left with such a burden, specifically a single mother who’s trying to better her education not incur avoidable debt while doing so. In my opinion, I was robbed of the option to take more than one class this semester and a hold placed every semester (no previous debt). In addition there is a hold on my account that prevents me from registering for any other classes, my advisor left without my knowledge and no one took the time to inform me of this either which would delay processes further. Save your time & funds attend elsewhere because WBU is a Gamble 🙁Four Shades Of Melanin TV

After getting out of the military and looking to expand my education, I encountered many choices until I found out about Wayland. I heard plenty of good reviews from my peers and luckily for me, I found out they were all true. From the beginning my advisor Mr Beard gave me outstanding help and guidance in what I needed to enroll for classes and how to use my military benefits. I started classes a week ago and same goes for my instructors, they have all been really helpful and I'm able to reach out to them if I have any questions. I would recommend this school to anyone!Julio C

Came for a class at 8am. The doors were locked, called security per the sign on the door and security just said "someone should be there". Finally get in and a person at the door pulls out a paper and asks us to sign in. He is at the front desk, nothing to do with the class and tells me he can't understand my name. Never been told that before. Rewrite my name in all caps just to get in class and see that there are other people in the class that didn't have to sign in. Strange and unwelcoming. I would definitely avoid coming here.Ashley Harper

I've had a great opportunity thus far to really expand my knowledge and the classes I have taken up to this point have exceeded my expectations. I'm one of those students that constantly stays in contact with both my professors as well as college staff. I've never had a problem getting in touch with anyone through email, text, office, or (even) cell phone. They've really done an amazing job and I'd highly recommend it . While I can't comment on the other courses they offer, they've certainly surpassed expectations in this particular field (in my opinion).Brenda S

Chris Gutierrez and team with Quest College is Amazing abouslty outstanding in helping me and service they all made me feel very welcomed..Chris Gutierrez was very understanding and new exactly what I needed. Ana all Gonzales helped with financial aid a walk in the Park. I'm a mom of 3 kid's and was worried about going back and the where ,when, how's where all answered…I can't wait for my first day of School ❤️😇🙏 Don't hold back I never will again. One step at a time . Thanks Quest College team 💯Cecilia Gingrich

Ms.zapata you need to start doing better with the students extern hour sheets. I have sat next to my fiancé every single time she’s emailed them to you and you still have the nerve to send her emails saying that you don’t have them. It’s a problem amongst other students as well she’s not the only one. Either start looking in your emails for everyone that’s “Missing” the sheets or have someone that can do the job no problem.Alfred Delgado

I'm just finishing up my bachelor's degree and working with the staff at Strayer has always been a pleasure. The professors on campus are very passionate about helping students to succeed and collaborate with working adults and their busy schedules. I have had no issues with FAFSA applications and am always getting notifications about how to manage paying back my loans so there's no surprises when that time comes.Mallory Klein

Small school, but kept clean. Not a lot of students in a class, which is a good thing. Staff is very helpful and professional. Classes are challenging but many teachers are military with hands on experience in their field. All the teachers I've had had been pretty good. It's an accelerated school so you need to be on top of things. It can be difficult with how much work there is, but you do learn a lot. The school has five hour classrooms 4 days a week. Normally, I wouldn't consider that a good thing, but the school is very upfront about how fast the school is, and the pace allows you to get a Bachelor's degree in 2.5 years. I would recommend this school for anyone looking to get a degree relatively quickly. If you have a lot of time or don't want to get a degree quickly, or don't mind waiting a lot longer to get a degree, this school may not be for you. Overall, it's a good school that has teachers with hands on experience, they have a nice, small, clean campus, and they are very professional.Jaime Silva

Met with my admission adviser Kimberly she was very helpful in answering my questions and well as giving me the information i needed. She was really awesome during the whole process. Thank you Kimberly your doing great.😊👍👏Stacey Meadows

If I could give this school a -5 I would. I made the worst decision transferring to this school. To put it simply there is SO MUCH inconsistency and ignorance within the advising and financial aid departments. I had to go to the financial department so many times and no one could tell me what to fix exactly. In fact, they took copies of my federal documents and apparently lost them leaving me to resend these in email. Big problem, especially considering that’s my SS number on those documents. Finally I got in touch with Delia who also wasn’t very helpful but eventually we sorted everything out. My advisor Allison failed to give me all the needed information pushing my graduation back. On top of that advising was not aware of class changes in my major. Finally if you are a working student do not go here. Classes are very limited and not flexible. It was hard to find evening classes let alone online classes (COVID did help with that because now online classes are offered). I’ve also registered for classes and built my work schedule around those only for a Professor to decide not to meet. This school is unorganized and does not care about their students. I tried reaching multiple deans and did not get ahold of anyone. I am so pleased that I’m finally graduating from this terrible school. By the way this is coming from a student with a 3.9 GPA who has never fallen behind in payments for class.Miranda G

If you’re on the fence between this campus and another CHOOSE THE OTHER. I’ve met a few great people but most of the staff are rude, the parking expenses are outrageous considering the distance you still have to walk without a shuttle provided. There’s hardly a cafe and the prices are RIDICULOUS. The admissions, financial aid, welcome center and advising center are NEVER opened when they say they will be and when you leave voicemails they never leave call back. It’s my senior year and I can’t register for the spring semester due to a “6 drops remaining hold” … definitely something they need to take care of from their end but I’m a sitting duck and risking losing my desired schedule due to their unprofessionalism.. Overall, I’d give this campus a 2/10. Very ghetto, would not recommend. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE.Brandi Lynn

I have been at this University for 2 semesters and I have had a great experience thus far. Every Professor I have had had been very attentive to any question or concern I have had that particular course. Some of the artwork that can be found throughout the University is outstanding. From oil on canvas, embroidery work, and statues are first class. If you happen to visit the campus, do yourself a favor and visit every building just to get a glance at the artwork. The campus continues to grow at a rapid rate but they have been able to manage their growth very well. At the current time, it feels like you're in the outskirts of town, but I'm sure and the next 10 to 20 years it will be surrounded by commerce.Karma Candle Makers

Small campus, but incredible experience here. I have been to SAC, Northwest Vista, Northeast Lakeview, and this campus. As far as campuses, this one comes in last for me. Possibly better than SAC just because it's in open space. Vending machines were normally empty here, but everything was always clean and easy enough to find. Great professors are here, and a great learning experience. I would recommend this campus to others. I enjoyed my time here, and definitely miss some of the times.Andrew Aramouni

Palo alto college, Nothing special. Campus was vacant, had to do a curbside pick up for daughters textbook. This review was written during covid, so they told us to mask up and wait in the car and they'd bring it out to us. Going to college is such a scam. Unless your going to be a plumber or automotive technician; save your money, save yourself the stress, aggravation and time. Learn a trade or join the service instead.Roger Gonzalez

It's a decent community college for the most part everyone is polite and nice, however the only complaint I have is there are not enough math tutors in the lab. I waited 3 hours so I could get help for four problems I didnt understand. That is ridiclious…. they need more tutors so people aren't waiting for long periods at a time. Other than that its decent school with very little crime reports so I gave it 3 stars.Emily 585

Overall did not enjoy my time at Northwest Vista College, or interacting with Alamo Colleges in general. I don't recommend taking classes here if you work full time or part time, and want to take online classes. Their website in incorrect or missing information in multiple places (e.g. the Residency Info page has instructions to find if you're in-district or not, but they are not updated). I was charged out-of-district tuition even though I live 4 minutes from campus. I called the Business Office 2-4 times and was placed on 8+ minute holds and no one ever picked up. The professor failed to allow students to take the final exam due to a technical error, and takes 2 days to respond to emails.Crystal Huang

The worst school Ever!!! Professor harass their student here. I have been called out many times for knowing another student, just cause the Professor didn’t like the student. One Professor, Thomas Taylor has called out my personal life in front of the whole class. I have witnessed even professors making racist remarks to other student. Try to report the professors but staff will not help!!!!xena crossland

It has been an amazing experience taking classes at NVC. Most of my teachers are awesome… nothing is perfect in life, but we have to learn to handle situation and focus on your studies… I have learned discipline and I have found the way to do and study my classes. I want to thank all people, stuff, teachers, friends to support me to continue my studies… I Love NVC!!!Maria Fernandez

I'm not sure what's going on with ophthalmology department. I went for my eye exam, paid my co pay. Got exam for glasses and contacts. About a week later received a bill for $75 for contact fittings. I had a follow up visit, which I should not been charged a co pay but I had to pay $35 for follow up. I tried to dispute it and I kept being told the insurance had changed. Even the Doctor agreed with me that i should have not been charged for either, it was covered by SuperiorVision. Verified with insurance and it had not changed. They finally admitted that I should have not paid for follow up. Requested that my $35 be refunded to directly. According to them they could not refund because I had a $75 balance. I made a claim with the insurance and received the money back. In the notes for the check it read: (PR-45) & (Co-45)"Charge exceeds fee schedule/maximum allowable or contracted/legislated fee arrangement". UT Health ophthalmology is over charging patient, many of whom are elderly. Taking advantage of people. They need to retrain or train correctly the person's working the in their department. They are overcharging , regardless what the insurance companies rules are. I do not recommend department to anyone or give this department any stars, I had to enter at least one star because it didn't let me post without. This department needs to be looked over and make sure it is following insurance policies and not overcharging customers.Pat Guevara

Very disappointing experience with the UT Health Cardiology Department. Dr. Traktenbroit suggested I have a cardiology stress test and an at home ECG test, called a ZIO test. I spoke with at least six different departments within UT Health & University Health And was unable to get test codes So I could get a cost estimate for the tests through my insurance company, prior to actually having the test performed. I called my insurance company and asked if they could contact the physician and different testing departments. They were also unable to get any type of cost estimate. With anything else in life you know what the cost will be before you pay for it, but in the medical profession you’re supposed to trust them and not know how much your out of pocket cost is going to be until you get a bill in the mail. Ludicrous! Also, there are 3 different types of stress tests. The most expensive one being the one that includes injecting nuclear medicine through an IV. Oh course, this is the test the Dr. ordered. Chest pains or shortness of breath are usually the reason for a stress test. I did not report having either. From what I’ve researched a CT scan of your heart is better at finding blockages than a stress test. I had one performed a few years ago and the cost was much less than having a nuclear stress test done.C W

This review is for the billing department. I do my best to pay my bills in full and when I can’t, I call to make payment arrangements. I don’t know about everyone else, but I have insurance with a high deductible and out of pocket maximum. This billing department boggles the mind. I received a letter from a collections office that I had a bill that I had not made a payment for. The service was in February of this year for a total amount $600. I keep all correspondence from bills that I paid or am paying and not once did I receive a letter stating that I owed this amount. What kind of billing department doesn’t send out bills? This is not the first time they have pulled this shenanigan. I got them to admit in the previous billing conflict that they hadn’t sent out a bill. This is a shady practice of not sending a bill but sending my or our information to a collections agency. I take my credit score very seriously. I don’t want it tainted because of a neglectful department/employee. This department needs a quality audit. I am sure they would find many issues that need to be addressed but haven’t been.Rachele Cuellar

Overall still a great University but I am concerned on their current admission process, qualifications and outreach. The university may be hurting for funds and appears to enroll less than desirable human beings that tarnishes the creed and honor of UIW alumni and successful, hardworking and productive students who have high values and morals. I won't go into great detail due to the graphic disdain and harm to especially those of female identity gender but the safety of all great and innocent students is in question and the output of future students may eventually lead UIW to be a less than desirable educational institution to be associated with…I hope whoever is now in charge is replaced with a leader who knows the difference between their own personal selfish agenda and instead fulfilled by an example of one who Understands integrity and creates those who value society as a whole for the better and harnesses their Strengths and Talents for good and growth of all.asiamoonstar

Love my college! I feel like it is truly a home! Doesn't hurt anything that I am fortunate enough to be a sophomore going to school with my brother and father who are both seniors this year! This college truly cares about you and you life to become a successful graduate! The faculty will always be around to help you achieve a solid GPA! And the grounds are so beautiful with downtown San Antonio being a 5 minute drive away you are at the hub of beautiful city! I am a student going for a master's degree in accounting and am so fortunate as to find many mentors here! I would absolutely recommend this college to be your first choice at better a better education! As well as receiving financial aid that I have a free ride for my first 3 out of 5 years!Sarah Sifuentes

****** Bad experience…… suspicious person in parking lot and campus police will not take a report. The guy was trying to take my truck tonneau cover. Parking lot close the Goreman Bldg. (Parking area near Hildebrand) . Every One that works for the university extremely nice/helpful. I had a wonderful experience with all staff. I was late to the cafeteria and the worker helped me after they were close. He re-opened and gave me a much needed bottle of water. What a wonderful place to be.Sylvia Cortez

It takes a loooooooong time for UTSA to get to top tier universities despite the fact they had this mission for over 7 years now. The focus of the university is on first generation students and undergraduates. Over 30,000 students enrolled in the last year but only roughly 750 students were at Doctoral level. Based on my personal experience and my colleagues experiences, despite some decent rankings that university tries to refer as the sign of the progress, many departments are not up to the National or International standards.Marzieh Jafary

Excellent University to get your bachelors degree! I graduated from there with two Business degrees (1998) and higher education will change your life! The professors there are exceptional and taught me so many things, and a variety of knowledge I am using (even after years and years! ) today on a daily basis. My professor always laughted that he was throwing out "Pearls of Wisdom!" – it is true. 90 plus percent of my professors had their Doctorate degree.CL Logan

They were not able to process my application in time because they were being incredibly slow with processing my transcripts. They then proceeded to edit dates that I reached out to them (2 months later than reality) to make their timelines look better. Unbelievably immoral conduct for which I am not sure I am still able to trust them with my education.Felix Kraemer

School tells lies. I moved there once specifically for a program directly on their website called Criminal Justice Forensics. It was a two year program. I was interested in Forensics at the time and wanting to transfer to a university and study Forensic Science. When I finished all the regular CJ classes and got ready to take the "Forensics" classes, I noticed that none of them were on the class schedule, so I did a little research and noticed that the classes never showed on any of the archived class schedules as well. I got that far in the program to not have an Forensics classes at all, even the "internship" they wanted you to do was at MADD. Laughable. What does drunk driving have to do with Forensic Science? Then the women at the MADD office were too gossipy, and they had absolutely nothing for us to do. It totally wasn't worth my time. This is what makes community colleges so bad. I went to advising, and the woman started giggling knowing I had been duped and made up some lies about some kind hearted people starting the program then stopped it due to low enrollment but forgot to take it off the website curriculum, yada yada yah. It's now off the website, but I wasted precious time and money. This would never have happened at a university without them notifying students. Also, SAC was on the verge of losing accreditation as well then and lied and stated your credits would still transfer. Not an honest experience. They do have a nice swimming pool though.Pllm30

DO NOT GO HERE. IT IS A CURSE. if i could give SAC -5 stars i would. they are absolutely no help. they don’t call, text or email when you request assistance & will run you in loops just for someone to tell you they cannot help you. San Antonio College has some of the absolute worst staff I have ever encountered in my entire life. the entire process each semester is so incredibly daunting and they leave you to figure it out on your own – 0 assistance from them. but somehow they will remind you to no avail when it is time to pay! save yourself the mental anguish, it’s worth paying more to attend a better college like UTSA in the long run.Corrin Aviv

4 years had to deal with staff failing the class because it was are fault. How is it are fault when you don't want to teach or willing to put effort. How is it are fault when systems and programs shut down due to errors and not having an alternative solution. When a teacher looks at you and out loud for anyone in the class to hear "why are you still here? There is no point of you staying get out" at that point what's the point of coming back again when they care is their pokects not the education they are supposed to provide. Don't come here it's a money pit!Fernando Mendez

My husband has been taking classes for the Electrical Certification program. He ended up only getting two classes this last semester because we couldn't get a response from the advisor at that campus to assist us. We had to go to the main campus to get any help. This time he was already enrolled so he was available to sign up for a meeting with the advisor. They spoke and found the classes he needed. We then find out they lost an assessment he took already. So he had to email another guy to get it removed this new guy didn't respond to any questions just removed the hold was told we had 10 days to register then the hold would go back. The advisor said once this was done he would sign him up for those classes. After two unanswered emails requesting he do what he made sound simple enough to get the classes setup, we finally heard back on Thursday that he would try to get it to Friday or Monday. Still nothing and now will probably lose out again on getting classes we need… more $$ for them I am sure. Problem is more time my husband is out of work and the program we joined to help pay for this will be long over. Long story short the SW Campus advisor Mr Solis is terrible with communication and follow through. This whole process has been unbelievably stressful for what is already so hard to get through… almost like they don't care if you go there or not. I gave them two stars because so far the teachers and classes have been great. Too bad the rest is so difficult and unwelcoming.Amanda Munoz

The school is great but for god’s sake please remove the 4 hour a week requirement for math world. Some of us live like an hour away from the school with a full time job to deal with and don’t have time at all, that’s why I’m only taking two classes, two days a week. The fact that the school added this 4 hour requirement which is basically a whole other class, just goes to show how little they care about their student’s circumstances. This was not a requirement last semester and it shouldn’t have been this semester. And this is definitely not elementary school for this non sense, we’re adults who have very busy lives and important things to do outside of school. Thanks to whoever decided to add this extra block of stress on me that could’ve not been necessary. 😡😡😡Ariel Guerrero

Trying to apply and obtain information to get into a program has been such a hassle. I can’t even begin to describe the lack of communication and utter miscommunication I’ve been experiencing with this school. Program directors and their assistants do not answer their phones. You can’t find direct numbers to advising, etc without doing a thorough search and when you do find one they don’t answer. I’ve had to make so many calls and unlock so many accounts. Just terrible. I’m coming from out of state and definitely would not recommend this school for anyone else doing the same.A J

It's a state of art facility. When you enter the lobby last thing come to your mind it's to be in a hospital. It's like opened yesterday. Clean and spotless. Has a great cafeteria if you want a coffee or a quick bite. Went there for the Covid vaccine, the process is so smooth and fast. Really friendly people working there and they care about you. I used the UT San Antonio before, school of dentistry, same thing, great care for you. I'm really proud to have UT here in my city.J Andrade

The employees at the front desk are some of the most rude people I have ever encountered. As a student, I am just trying to get healthcare services at a convenient location, but I would rather drive out than deal with the unprofessionalism at this office.K J

COVID VACCINE I brought my mom to get her Covid vaccine, I am so glad of the organization, the quick smooth process… special thanks to the people that is working every minute to make sure this process is smooth… Didn’t post pics for respect to othersJorge and Katy Palomino

12 years ago I got injured at my work. That greatly affected my life where I had to retire my primary field jobs of 25 years experience. Five years ago I didn't know that Saint Philip's College is going to change my life forever. Because they never gave up on me I could never give up on them and for that I am now about to receive my associate's degree in applied science. Thank you St. Philip's for giving me my life back and thank you David Carrillo (Master Electrician- Lead educator/ Friend) for believing in me. It has changed my life, it could change yours.Alejandro “Alexthebuilder” Flores

Great place to learn about technical trades in HVAC, CONSTRUCTION, WELDING, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, AVIATION, DIESEL, AUTO BODY, COMPUTER ENGINEERING, POWER GENERATION. if you plan to continue on a professional trade with credits you can transfer to a major university..these is the place to attent.Francisco Antonio

Instructors always been very helpful. Getting registered here was simple no problems, I'd recommend going here to sign up for classes here than going to the east side campus….Nathan Fuentes

I will update this periodically for anyone in SA looking for ABSN options. I think the program is in its infancy stages or the faculty does not teach but rather assigns readings. While reading does help you learn, I believe it is the responsibility of professors and faculty to help identify important information that is applicable to the real world. If you cannot apply what you learn, what is the point in doing it? Faculty so far is not effective at teaching students where information is applicable to the real world. I am sure faculty is knowledgeable but perhaps not good at teaching, maybe functionaries.J C

The clinic is great when I get there. It's clean and set up for covid standards which I really appreciate. They have always been on time when I've gone which is very surprising but a big plus The only down side is that don't answer the phones or return voice messages. I was trying to get an appointment and ended up just going in person to schedule.Mell Seitz
