Student Success

Brogdon Jack

 

Congratulations to Jack Brogdon, MS Health Sciences, Class of 2018, on his recent acceptance to the Doctor of Philosophy in Health Professions Education program at Bellarmine University.  

Jack’s healthcare career has included vocational nursing and long term care administration.  After completing his MS Health Science degree with a concentration in Healthcare Administration at UTRGV, Jack is continuing his education with a goal of making a difference in healthcare through research and education. 

Omar

The Department of Health and Biomedical Sciences would like to congratulate MS Health Sciences (Health Informatics concentration) Graduate Student Omar Nedzelsky, Jr., for being awarded the Global Student Leadership Award. 

Diversity Abroad announced the 2020 Excellence in Diversity & Inclusion in International Education (EDIIE) awardees. The recipients have developed innovative practices, conducted original research and championed inclusive excellence, all with the aim toward preparing diverse students for academic and career success through equitable access to global education.

Omar currently promotes internationalization on campus at UTRGV through his Graduate Assistantship with the International Programs & Partnerships office.  Omar’s personal study abroad experiences sparked his desire to help other students to have a similar experience.  Omar founded UTRGV’s Study Abroad Club to help raise funds for UTRGV students to gain this important learning experience.  Omar’s work with UTRGV’s Study Abroad Club has received recognition and funding several times throughout his tenure with the club.

 

Amaka

Amaka Onwuneme, a graduate student in the MS Health Sciences (Healthcare Informatics concentration) has been awarded the James H. & Minnie M Edmonds scholarship for the 2020-2021 academic year. 

Congratulations Amaka!

 

Congratulations BMED student Paola Vidal who won a travel award to SACNAS in Hawaii, and presented her summer internship research project from Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN there, last week.
