Eduardo values the mentoring he received at �ǿմ�ý-and he plans to pay it forward. An Afro-Latino from Puerto Rico, he hopes to inspire the next generation of underrepresented students to enter the medical field. At �ǿմ�ý, Eduardo found his first mentors through the Emerging Scholars Program, which helped him build college-ready time management and study skills. His four-year advisor and mentors in research labs, hospital settings, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and on the residence life staff were also pivotal to his success and acceptance into medical school. Eduardo's passion to improve healthcare disparities for islander communities led him to the highly selective Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of �ǿմ�ý, where he'll earn his MD with a special qualification in biomedical research.

Prior to joining Honeycomb, Stephanie led teams of site-reliability engineers in Seattle, Washington, and Munich, Germany, for Google. There, her teams were responsible for keeping Google’s internal services up and running. Her leadership skills were honed at �ǿմ�ý. Stephanie organized the first group of �ǿմ�ý students to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing and was at the forefront of building the Hacker Society into the inclusive student group it is today. Those same skills made her stand out at her nuclear medicine co-op with Philips Healthcare and her software engineering co-op and internship with Explorys—an IBM company.

Co-op and internship experiences benefited Stephanie’s job search 

"When I was interviewing, I had a rich wealth of experience to talk about. By the time I graduated, I had several years of full-time job experience built-up…and a network of folks who were willing to help me find positions, prepare for interviews and get ready for whatever was next."

What Jonah likes most about his specialty in emergency travel nursing is that no two days are alike. He may find himself in the skies above Mexico on a Learjet caring for a patient one day and in a busy Los Angeles emergency room the next. He is expected to be an expert in everything from critical care to the common cold. Jonah credits �ǿմ�ý for helping him meet the challenge. Many of the 1,000+ hours of clinical training required by the nursing program were done in the nation’s top-rated medical centers, such as Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals—both within walking distance of campus. And he was introduced to innovations in areas such as public health and specialties like flight nursing.

Distinct patient-care experiences Jonah had as a �ǿմ�ý nursing student

• International volunteering: in a three-bed Haitian hospital emergency room
• Perioperative clinicals: in operating rooms during his junior year
• Public health internship: flying in a four-seat airplane to a remote Alaskan village to vaccinate children and perform tuberculosis skin tests was a highlight
