Autumn Carroll is a Sr. Biology student
who is specializing in Pre-Physical Therapy.
Autumn shared that her coursework has been incredibly valuable,
but she feels she has been prepared for the industry
through the active learning she has employed
with other students during her labs.
She shared that her favorite aspect
of the PT pre-professional specialization has been the people,
both professors and peers.
Autumn shared that she feels as if they are all striving as a unit to succeed together which has pushed her to work hard.
"The opportunities that I’ve been presented are endless.
Not only have I received a solid academic foundation
and hands-on experience through research opportunities
and internships, I’ve also been given the chance to network
with peers and professionals in the field of Physical Therapy,
which is invaluable."

A Moment with Mrs. Bachman | |

October is Global Diversity Awareness Month and it prompts my memories
of early introductions to people of different cultures.
My father was a university professor in animal nutrition
and had graduate student scholars from all over the world.
I loved holidays because my parents would open our home to students who,
because of distance and cost, could not return home until their degree was conferred. Thanksgiving was special because we would have a large crowd
included at our Thanksgiving table, including a whole variety of new foods, for many.
We took time for each student to tell about their home and traditions.
All of us gained from learning about each other’s background and cultures.
You will be surprised about what you will learn if you just ask and listen.
Try to do so this month and, when appropriate, for the rest of your life.
