From left are Sonja Tutsch-Bryant, PhD, SHPEP program manager, Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, Hailey Cheek, Sam Moreno, Regent Stark and Rolando Martinez-Rico.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The featured speakers were three SHPEP alums who now work with the program at UNMC: Sam Moreno, who is originally from Illinois; Hailey Cheek, of Elkhorn; and Rolando Martinez-Rico, who is from Council Bluffs, Iowa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After participating in SHPEP in summer 2022, all three went on to the Summer Undergraduate Research Program in 2023, gaining research experience through another of UNMC\u2019s pathway programs. Martinez-Rico also participated in the UNMC High School Alliance and Urban\u00a0Health\u00a0Opportunities Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He will go on to medical school at UNMC this fall. Moreno will be attending the UNMC College of Public Health to study for her Master of Public Health degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to SHPEP, Moreno said, \u201cThe entire trajectory of my life changed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stark encouraged the students, urging them to keep their focus and find a good mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to make it,\u201d he told them. \u201cYou know the discipline. You\u2019ve got the focus and then the compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stark himself has a background in the medical professions and at UNMC. His professional expertise is as a sports psychologist, and he previously served on UNMC\u2019s psychiatry and pediatrics faculty as a medical psychologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stark said he\u2019s extremely impressed with UNMC\u2019s programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re bringing young students from starting in middle school, high school, and preparing them for going into the health care professions,\u201d Stark said. \u201cWe&#8217;ve got to do this. We don&#8217;t have enough students in this country, and the work they&#8217;re doing here is a national model, I think, for every other university health center. It&#8217;s very impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On his tour, Stark also visited the EDGE District and the new Catalyst building with Amy Thompson, UNMC\u2019s director of campus development, and Michael Dixon, PhD, president and CEO of UNeMed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stark, a former UNMC faculty member, heard about the Summer Health
