Kirsten Peterson, a 1978 Allegheny College graduate and a member of the Gateway Pre-Professional Studies staff, received the Buck Hill \u201968 Award from the Northeast Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NEAAHP) during its June 2020 annual meeting, which was held online.<\/p>\n

Peterson was honored for her outstanding service to NEAAHP and the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP), demonstrating several key qualities that have earned the respect of her peers. The award recognizes a NEAAHP member of at least 10 years who has volunteered significant effort on behalf of NEAAHP. Peterson served on the NEAAHP Executive Committee from 2006 to 2019 as a member at large, one term as president, and two terms as secretary.<\/p>\n

NEAAHP is one of four regional subsets of NAAHP, the national organization for health professions advisors. Its main purpose is to help college and university advisors do their jobs and to support those advisors in times of change. Help comes in several forms, including workshops, conferences, a website and mentorship.<\/p>\n

\u201cNEAAHP has certainly helped me as an advisor,\u201d said Peterson. \u201cIt is a recognition of the work I have done for the organization as a board member, president, secretary, committee member, worker bee at meetings and panel moderator. Any recognition of my work is good for the College. Another aspect is the modeling of behavior I hope our students will follow. By engaging in service I am modeling the behavior I hope that students will adopt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson said she is a member of the regional and national organizations \u201cbecause it is the best way to know what is going on in the medical admissions world. It was incredibly helpful as I started this job, it helps me stay current with pre-health issues, and it now allows me to serve as a mentor to other advisors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson\u2019s primary job at Allegheny is advising pre-health students. \u201cThat is unusual for a college of our size, but it means that I can provide workshops and meet with students as often as they need. It means I can stay up to date in the field, so I can help them prepare, with such programs as the MCAT boot camp,\u201d Peterson said. \u201cIt means that I have the time to arrange shadowing opportunities both locally and within our alumni network. I arrange the annual Lehman Medical Ethics Lecture and assist with the health-coaching program. When it comes to writing the school\u2019s letter of recommendation for graduate school, I know them well. Allegheny is generous in these respects, giving me the time to manage a robust program.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a front-line physician working in a hospital\u2019s emergency room in Tennessee, Colleen Tran is focused on preserving the health and welfare of her patients, some of them very sick and facing a fight for their lives. The same is true for Lauren Moore, an emergency medicine resident in a Columbus, Ohio, hospital.<\/p>\n

Jessica Schindelar is concerned with protecting and ensuring the safety of health-care workers like Moore and Tran. Schindelar is a member of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s (CDC) COVID-19 Health Systems and Worker Safety Task Force.<\/p>\n

All three health-care professionals are Allegheny College graduates. Their missions are similar during the current global health pandemic \u2014 to defeat the scourge of the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can truly say that I, probably like most of us, never expected to be in the throws of a pandemic let alone have my hands on the people infected with it every day,\u201d said Moore. \u201cIt has absolutely brought a new admiration and appreciation for my colleagues and to all of the nurses, sanitation workers, respiratory therapists, medical techs, grocery store employees, and veterinarians, who, despite the risk, still willingly expose themselves to a deadly virus every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

These three dedicated health-care professionals took time from their hectic schedules recently to discuss their roles during the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

Colleen Zink Tran \u201907, Emergency Room Physician<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tran is an emergency room physician at TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center in Smyrna, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville. She also serves as the assistant medical director for the emergency department. Every day since early March, her main duties have been the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are monitoring the positive cases and deaths daily,\u201d Tran said. \u201cWe are testing symptomatic and asymptomatic patients in an effort to identify positive cases and quarantine to prevent spread. In preparation for a possible surge of patients, our hospital had set up tents outside where we would be able to rapidly evaluate patients that have symptoms concerning for COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Dr.
Allegheny graduate Dr. Colleen Tran works in an emergency room in suburban Nashville, Tennessee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The past two months have been a new learning experience for Tran, who graduated from Allegheny with a major in biochemistry and a minor in Spanish in 2007. \u201cLife at work is very different from our usual. Normally, I would arrive at work in personal scrubs, log onto the computer, and start seeing patients. With this virus being so contagious, I now have many more steps to complete before starting my shift,\u201d said Tran.<\/p>\n

First, she gets her temperature checked upon entering the facility. If someone has a fever, they are sent home immediately and put on quarantine, she said. Tran then changes into hospital scrubs that are left at the hospital after her previous shift so it reduces the chance that she will bring the virus home on her clothing.<\/p>\n

She picks up her masks \u2014 which include a simple mask for droplet protection and an N95 mask that is used during procedures such as intubation (putting a breathing tube down a patient\u2019s throat) \u2014 and a face shield for the day. She scrubs her hands and arms up to her elbows with soap and water for 20 seconds to ensure that is not bringing in any of the virus. Lastly, she uses an antiviral\/antibacterial wipe to clean off her computer, desk, chair, and anything else she may touch during her shift. Finally, she can log onto her computer and start seeing patients. At the end of her shift, the process is reversed, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn regards to the pathology I am seeing, there is definitely an increase in acuity or how sick patients are,\u201d Tran said. \u201cWe are seeing many severely ill patients with difficulty breathing or with significantly low oxygen levels. These patients seem to get worse very fast and often end up on a ventilator. We have to take many precautions to not catch the virus while seeing these patients and especially while doing procedures on them, as this is when the virus can become airborne. For every patient who has symptoms of COVID-19, we have to wear a mask, goggles, a face shield, hair cover, gown, and gloves. This is very time consuming, so every patient I am seeing takes much more time than usual.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Colleen

Tran said her Allegheny education plays an integral role in her duties as an emergency room physician. \u201cMy time at Allegheny taught me critical thinking, time management, and how to be a leader. As an emergency physician, I have to be able to react quickly and often have to make hard decisions with minimal information. In the most stressful cases I have to be a leader for the staff and communicate my thought process,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Tran is married to a physician and has two children at home. Lately, when she gets home, she has been self isolating. \u201cI try very hard not to touch my face and wash my hands often, even when at home,\u201d Tran said. \u201cI am taking daily zinc and vitamin C supplements as well. I am also focusing on my mental health and happiness in order to decrease stress. I try to separate my work life from my home life in order to avoid burnout, which is a common problem for emergency physicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Tran, who earned her medical degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, the toughest aspect of the COVID-19 outbreak has been to manage the anxiety, fear, and misunderstanding of the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is frustrating to hear others minimize the virus, when I am risking my life by potentially exposing myself,\u201d she said. \u201cAs the assistant medical director, it was initially very hard to calm my staff and the other physicians. Everyone was panicked that we may run out of masks or gowns. When this all started, there was a very steep learning curve as to how to protect yourself and we were getting conflicting advice daily. That was incredibly frustrating because we still wanted and needed to take care of our patients, but we wanted to protect ourselves as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessica Schindelar \u201902, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 Health Systems and Worker Safety Task Force Communication Lead<\/strong><\/p>\n

Schindelar, the associate director for communication in the CDC\u2019s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, is currently serving as the communication lead for the Health Systems and Worker Safety Task Force within the CDC\u2019s COVID-19 response. She has been in this role since late March 2020 but has been working on the response since the end of January. She leads a team of 15 communicators from across the agency to translate the work of the task force through various communications channels to disseminate accurate, consistent, and clear COVID-19 information to key audiences and stakeholders, such as the nation\u2019s health care workers.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cAllegheny
\u201cAllegheny also armed me with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills I need to be successful in this kind of role \u2013 skills I am using every day when decisions have to be made in a split-second, sometimes with very limited information,\u201d says Jessica Schindelar, an Allegheny graduate who works at the CDC in Atlanta.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some of the important work of the task force is developing evidence-based guidance, recommendations, resources, and tools to protect healthcare workers and minimize the impacts of COVID-19 on the U.S. healthcare system. Some of the key issues she is working on are healthcare worker safety and infection control practices in healthcare settings, personal protective equipment, healthcare facility preparedness, and system-wide impacts.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur task force also provides technical assistance \u2014 both by deploying teams of experts to provide on-site assistance and providing remote assistance to healthcare facilities throughout the country, including nursing homes and long-term care facilities, which we are finding to be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 outbreaks,\u201d said Schindelar, who is a 2002 Allegheny graduate who majored in neuroscience and minored in art history.<\/p>\n

Schindelar\u2019s team is developing communication strategies and crafting important messages, creating fact sheets and toolkits, fielding interview requests from media, scripting and editing videos, and managing 60-plus web pages with critical and continually changing information for healthcare providers and facilities. The group is also writing social media, responding to questions from the public and professional audiences, hosting webinars and regular calls with clinical audiences and healthcare sector partners, and ensuring that the guidance and resources being developed by the task force are getting into the hands of the people that need them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always felt like my neuroscience and art history combination was a bit of an odd one, but working as a public health communicator on healthcare safety issues has been a really lovely marriage of my interests in science and the arts,\u201d said Schindelar. \u201cI am forever grateful for my Allegheny education because it made me a better writer \u2014 this work requires that I\u2019m clear and direct in my communications. I\u2019m able to translate the scientific, technical information and guidance that is being developed by our task force into actionable messages and communication products that are easy to understand and use.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllegheny also armed me with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills I need to be successful in this kind of role \u2014 skills I am using every day when decisions have to be made in a split-second, sometimes with very limited information. Outside of my education, my Allegheny experience as a whole made me a stronger, more confident leader,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Schindelar said she has been following her own CDC guidance to protect herself: Staying home as much as possible, frequent handwashing, practicing social distancing, and wearing a face covering to protect others when she goes out to run essential errands \u2014 which is mostly just grocery store runs, she said. Generally, she tries to get enough sleep, eat healthy, and take walks in her neighborhood to get in exercise to counterbalance the hours she works.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two things I am finding particularly tough during this crisis,\u201d said Schindelar. \u201cFirst, is hearing from friends, former classmates, and other healthcare workers who are on the front lines about the challenges they are experiencing. It\u2019s difficult to hear the realities about what is happening on the ground, and I am so grateful for everything they are doing. I am trying to do my part to help them \u2014 as are the more than 4,000 CDC staff working around the clock on this response to protect the public\u2019s health. Seeing the dedication and commitment of the 300-plus people within my own task force who I\u2019m working with every day to protect healthcare workers and facilities makes me really proud to be part of this historic response, even on the hardest days.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second challenge is that the CDC staff is mostly running this response from their homes, she said. \u201cThere is a skeleton crew at CDC right now. Before we moved to remote work in March, our emergency response operations happened out of two buildings on CDC\u2019s campus \u2014 we were all working out of our task force \u2018war\u2019 rooms. That is all happening virtually now, and while I feel very fortunate that I can do this work from the safety of my own home, many of my colleagues are now juggling this response with childcare and school as well. It\u2019s an added layer of difficulty we\u2019ve never encountered in any response I\u2019ve been involved with in my 12 years at the agency. But in the end, it\u2019s rewarding work despite the long hours and I go to bed every night really proud of the work we have done and are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Lauren Moore \u201914, Emergency Medicine Resident<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moore is a postgraduate year two emergency medicine resident at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She is nearing the end of her second of three years of post-medical school training. \u201cWe see everyone \u2014 the deathly sick, the not so sick, and all those in between, regardless of whether or not they have signs or symptoms of COVID-19,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cSometimes,
\u201cSometimes, when I\u2019m driving home after a 12-hour shift, the weight of the situation hits me and I have to remind myself to take a deep breath and forge ahead,\u201d says Lauren Moore, who works in an emergency room in Columbus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Successfully managing the crisis is all about delegating resources, she said. \u201cThis means that we have to determine what patients need further management and monitoring in the hospital versus who can safely go home. Aside from life-saving care, we provide public information, resources, and a hand to hold during this uncertain time. I\u2019m honored and privileged to be able to do this as my job,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a hospital standpoint, policies change based on new data at a rate of what seems like two to four times a day. We have to keep up with ever-changing COVID-19 testing kits, sanitation practices, who to test and how to keep safe,\u201d said Moore, who is a 2014 Allegheny graduate and a 2018 graduate of the Penn State College of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Additionally, she said, the Wexner Medical Center emergency room is seeing a \u201cbacklash from the pandemic.\u201d Because so many people are cooped up at home, there has been an increase in the number of child abuse victims, domestic violence assaults and suicides, Moore said.<\/p>\n

Also, hearing about colleagues and fellow first-line providers getting sick is disconcerting, Moore said. \u201cSometimes, when I\u2019m driving home after a 12-hour shift, the weight of the situation hits me and I have to remind myself to take a deep breath and forge ahead,\u201d Moore said. \u201cIt\u2019s overwhelming. It\u2019s like walking a tight rope on the sharp edge of a knife. On one side, we want to do right for and be there with our patients despite limited personal protection equipment and increased risk to ourselves. But on the other, we want to protect our families and friends. Either way we fall, in a lot of ways, we get cut.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lauren

Earning a bachelor\u2019s degree in neuroscience at Allegheny while taking all the necessary pre-med classes was tough, Moore said, but worth it. \u201cLong hours of studying in Steffee to get into medical school prepared me for the academic workload of staying up to date with the ever-changing guidelines and research regarding best COVID-19 treatment practices. I was also very involved in student government, my sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, and working at the childcare center, in Alumni Affairs at the Tippie Center, at the Office of Student Involvement, and as a health coach. Having so many commitments in addition to my studies prepared me for extreme multitasking, which is imperative to success in a busy emergency room and intensive care unit.\u201d<\/p>\n

While personal protective equipment has been limited during the pandemic, hospital management has done everything it can to make sure physicians and other workers are as protected as possible, Moore said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a safe place to store my gear at the hospital, so I leave it in my car and have been avoiding using my car unless it is to get to work,\u201d she said. \u201cMore importantly, I\u2019m protecting my family and friends by staying away from them. I even sent my dog away for several months to protect the dog walkers who I rely on to help me with her. It may sound silly, but that to me has probably been one of the hardest things to deal with during all of this \u2014 not coming home to her company after a long day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lauren<\/a>

In an attempt to prevent viral spread and exposure to those whose bodies are already weak, visitation from the public is limited at Wexner Medical Center, as it is at all medical facilities now.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of this, so many people are going through some of the most difficult times of their lives completely alone, and it\u2019s tough to watch that,\u201d Moore said. \u201cPatients are brought in by EMS completely alone, and we put breathing tubes and IVs and catheters in them and they are so sick that they can\u2019t even talk to their families on the phone to tell them what\u2019s going on. When I provide phone updates to families, I find that it is equally as hard for them who want nothing more than to see and be there for their loved ones. All I can do is be there for the patients by holding their hands and reminding them that their families love them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Allegheny<\/a>
EMT Sarah Foster \u201920 says she recently enjoyed some \u201cpuppy therapy\u201d with a coworker\u2019s dog.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amid finishing her senior year from home and completing her Senior Project, Allegheny College biology major Sarah Foster spent 40-plus hours each week serving the Butler, Pennsylvania, community as an emergency medical technician (EMT). Before she graduated in May, Foster shared her story with Allegheny, including the transformation of one of the company\u2019s ambulances into the \u201cCorona Express\u201d to help protect her and her co-workers. Read about Foster\u2019s experiences \u2014 in her own words:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been working as an EMT for about 2 years. I work in Meadville during the school year, but my primary station is Butler Ambulance Service (BAS) in Butler, PA. When we were sent home for spring break, I started back at BAS full time and have been working 40-50+ hours a week since I\u2019ve been home. It has been hard managing my time with school and work and I did not expect to be working as much as I am. As a senior, it took me a while to get over the sadness I was feeling about my undergrad career being cut short. But, I recently passed my comp (Woohooo!!!) and turned in some big assignments and feel that I am starting to get in the swing of things. Additionally, as a first responder, I am having a unique pandemic experience. Most of my friends and family are staying quarantined or working from home, but not me! I enjoy getting out of the house and socializing with coworkers (from a safe 6 feet apart of course!) But, with the seriousness of the situation, I have a big responsibility to keep those around me safe.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n\u201cDespite the anxiety I feel on a daily basis, I am proud to be a first responder.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014Sarah Foster\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

I have lost track of how many confirmed cases we have at the local hospital. It scares me that I walk through the same halls these patients have been transported through, enter rooms where these patients may have coughed or sneezed, and interacted with potentially asymptomatic patients and could already be a carrier myself. I believe I can speak for all health care professionals and say this is not what we signed up for. Yes, we are all driven to help those in need, heal the sick, comfort the dying \u2026 but we did not ask to put our lives on the line. In addition, my work has told us to be cognizant of the number of masks we are using. Apparently supplies are dwindling and they are unable to order more. There are protocol changes every day, each facility we go to wants us to do something different, I am constantly taking my temperature, it is all just a lot right now. I am doing my best to stay safe, but it is stressful!! A lot of family members and friends have encouraged me to stop working, but I can\u2019t. And constantly being reminded how at risk I am and how unsafe it is to be working is doing more harm than good. I suppose I could stop working, but could you imagine where we\u2019d be if all health care providers just threw in the towel? Despite the anxiety I feel on a daily basis, I am proud to be a first responder.<\/p>\n

\"Allegheny<\/a>
Sarah Foster in the \u201cCorona Express\u201d \u2014 an ambulance that she and her co-workers outfitted with protective measures to transport COVID-19 patients.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When our company had our first confirmed patient, we transformed one of our ambulances into what I like to call the Corona Express. There is plastic sheeting throughout the whole back with limited supplies available. This truck is only being used for interfacility transports of confirmed or suspected cases. Afterwards, the back is decontaminated with NDC spray. When we do get a confirmed or suspected patient, both on a 911 call or interfacility transport, crew members are required to don appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes a gown, gloves, N-95 mask, eye protection, hair net, and boot covers. I have only had to put all of these items on a few times, but it is not a great experience. I commend health care workers, particularly those in the ER who are required to wear these all the time!!<\/p>\n

To ease some anxiety the other day at work, my coworker and I walked some laps around our station. Our call volume has been down lately, so we had a few spare minutes to get in some exercise. A mother and her two kids drove up next to us and handed us some snacks and goodies. They thanked us for working and our selfless efforts to keep the community safe. Our station is getting cloth masks donated, meals delivered, and thank you notes sent to us on a daily basis. The field of EMS is not often recognized and I think many community members are just now realizing how essential we are. I am exceedingly proud to be doing what I am in these times. More than anything, this experience has solidified my passion for medicine and desire to some day be an advanced health care provider.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allegheny College alumni Jim Miller \u201999 and Sabina Sully \u201905 were each awarded a 2018\u201319 Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Program fellowship, which allowed them to travel to Africa to teach and observe. Only 74 teachers across the U.S. were chosen for this highly competitive program.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201c<\/span>Each Fulbright fellow develops a guiding question that helps to guide their observations while having their in-country experience,\u201d said Sully, whose Fulbright took her to Morocco in early March.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Fulbright program provides support specifically to teachers, with the intent of enhancing their expertise, assisting in internationalizing the U.S. classroom, and developing mutual understanding and lasting relationships between the U.S. and other countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I work in a high needs, urban area,\u201d said Sully, \u201cI was particularly interested in how schools in Morocco are supporting under-resourced and\/or rural families as well as the ways in which they are incorporating a community-based educational philosophy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Sully graduated from Allegheny with a women\u2019s studies major and history minor, went on to complete her Master of Arts in teaching at Towson University, and now teaches seventh-grade English language arts at Patterson Park Public Charter School in Baltimore, Maryland.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy time at Allegheny instilled in me a passion for social justice and the desire to choose a career path that would make a difference in the lives of others,\u201d Sully reflected. \u201cAs I explored career options post-graduation, choosing to work in the Baltimore City Public School System felt like a very natural match with those interests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When Sully started teaching in Morocco in March, she was initially surprised at how crowded the classes were, before realizing that many of the students had come of their own accord to learn English from a native speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThe level of intrinsic motivation my students in Morocco demonstrated in regards to practicing English really stood out,\u201d said Sully. \u201cSo many students throughout my time there pushed themselves out of the language comfort zones, always looking for chances to practice. Seeing the level of dedication students had to their studies was definitely inspiring, and I can\u2019t wait to continue to partner with my Moroccan colleagues in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sully was able to take time to learn, teach, and observe during her time in Morocco. She co-taught in El Jadida, worked with Moroccan teachers and students participating in Fulbright\u2019s sister programs, and collaborated on future global education projects with colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe incredible kindness and hospitality of the students was overwhelming,\u201d Sully said. \u201cStudents drew portraits of us, came in with presentations about Moroccan culture, brought traditional dishes, and generally were incredibly excited to share their classrooms and culture with me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"In April, Miller traveled to Senegal to begin his Fulbright journey, where he participated in cross-cultural activities, taught English and science to middle school students near Kaolack, Senegal, toured schools to learn about the education system in Senegal, and visited the U.S. Embassy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing that resonated throughout my trip was \u2018Teranga,\u2019 or the sense of hospitality,\u201d said Miller. \u201cEven though the people of Senegal have very few material possessions, the people are genuinely happy, want everyone else to feel welcomed and happy, and truly value their culture and community. Of all of the countries I have visited, Senegal was definitely the country where I felt most welcomed and part of the family of everyone I met.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One moment that especially resonated from Miller\u2019s time in Senegal took place in a rural village. He saw middle school students working out molarity equations by hand in a classroom made of sticks and a dirt floor, with no electricity \u2014 only a chalkboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Recalled Miller: \u201cThis moment inspired me because these students were so motivated to come to school every day, were really energetic and engaged in the classroom, and were completing these difficult math operations without the use of technology. As teachers in the U.S., we are encouraged to use technology in our classroom every day, and I was able to witness those students being successful even under those conditions and without technology.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller graduated from Allegheny with a major in environmental studies and a minor in communications, and went on to get his teaching certificate through Ashland University and his master\u2019s degree from Miami University\u2019s Global Field Program. He now teaches AP environmental science at Cleveland Heights (Ohio) High School and is part of Miami University\u2019s instructional team for the Project Dragonfly graduate program. In 2011, Miller was selected to participate as a PolarTREC teacher, where he was paired with scientists from Cornell and Stanford to conduct research on the thawing permafrost in Alaska.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Miller\u2019s time at Allegheny set the foundation for his career path.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAllegheny was a great experience and one that I hold in high regard,\u201d recalled Miller. \u201cThe rigor of the courses and the great instructors truly made Allegheny an amazing experience. The diversity of the students and the friendships you make while a student are unforgettable and will be with you for the rest of your life. Every chance I get I encourage my students to look at Allegheny and see if they think they would be a good fit to go there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller notes that, while education is a challenging career, it has also proven to be incredibly rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing your students walk across the stage and then come back to you years later boasting about what they have accomplished since they left my classroom, makes everything I do worthwhile,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n
