Canice Eshiebor was first introduced to Bulldog Pride and the many Navarro College experiences through her older sister, who attended Navarro College a few years before her. Seeing it as a wonderful experience for her sister, Canice knew that Navarro College would treat her just as well. “All the college experiences that you think you wouldn’t experience at a community college… Navarro College provided it all for [my sister]” reflects Canice. Canice made her college experience her very own within Navarro College. Now a Doctor of Pharmacy, Canice obtained a majority of her prerequisite courses at Navarro College in addition to numerous other opportunities that have best prepared her for a career in medicine.  

Canice is originally from Nigeria, where she completed primary school there before enrolling at Navarro College. In a recent interview, Canice further details her time at NC, “Navarro College was my transition into the states. It was challenging, of course, but Navarro made it easy. Everyone was so supportive. I never felt out of place, like I was somewhere I shouldn’t be. Navarro taught me that whatever I put my mind to is within reach, that I can do it. Each and every one of the professors was helpful to me.” 

From Navarro College Canice transferred to Texas Tech University to pursue an undergraduate degree and Pharm. D. In 2019, she was awarded the substantial Victor and Oby Nwankwo scholarship by Ral Obioha Law, PLLC, a scholarship fund dedicated to foreign-born students pursuing higher education in the U.S. Now a practicing pharmacist in the DFW area, Canice has made accessibility in rural healthcare her passion within the field of medicine and pharmacology, with a focus on independent, small-town pharmacies providing patients with the help and medicine they need.
