Dear alumni and friends of Marquette’s College of Health Sciences,
In our college, we are passionate about molding the next generation of health care providers into competent, caring and compassionate clinicians in whom patients will place great trust. The articles in this edition of Marquette Health Sciences reflect that passion while highlighting student accomplishments in the clinical setting.
In our first story, we spoke to three clinical instructors in our vast network about the success of students in their fieldwork. Every year across the college, our students fan out across the region and nation to gain critical, hands-on experience, and every year, those preceptors come back to the College of Health Sciences asking for more students. Our preceptors explained why they’re always looking to have more of our students in their clinics.
We always love featuring our alumni and the careers they’ve achieved and we feel even better when their journeys bring them right back to campus, just as Noel Kruse, H Sci ’22, Grad ’23, and Eric Khondaker, Grad ’22, have. Both graduates of the Master of Athletic Training program, Noel and Eric have found their calling with Marquette’s Athletics assisting our student-athletes.
Our students are also doing inspiring things including Speech Pathology and Audiology student Samantha Grivno. Samantha was born with a unilateral hearing loss condition called right ear atresia. And now she’s on the path to becoming an audiologist to treat children with hearing disorders like her and help them overcome their fears and breakthrough barriers.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Marquette Health Sciences and I encourage you to send me any ideas you have featuring our exceptional alumni or distinguished programs as we continue to educate the next generation of mission-driven leaders and continue to advance The Science That Heals.
Warm regards,
Dr. William E. Cullinan
Dean and Professor
