The goal is to recognize students for what they are doing and to encourage other students to get involved in the community.

There is a major role for the arts in medicine, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to help <strong>Ruti Margalit, M.D.,<\/strong> introduce a nationally renowned program to UNMC.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<strong>Hobbies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\nSunday dinners at my parents&rsquo; house;<\/li>\n<li>\nCooking Italian food (for me, this means no measuring and that it is never as good as my Nana&rsquo;s!);<\/li>\n<li>\nREO Speedwagon concerts with my siblings (3 states, about 10 shows);<\/li>\n<li>\nWriting;<\/li>\n<li>\nPost-war Japanese literature; and<\/li>\n<li>\nScuba diving and hiking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<strong>Staying Balanced:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nMy husband Matt and my family are so important to my balance between medicine and life outside of the hospital. We stay busy by spending time with friends, going to concerts like Tom Petty and Paul Simon, and travelling whenever possible with our schedules. Matt started coaching a little league baseball team this year and I&rsquo;m an honorary coach, which has been a blast. I also love home projects and can add tiling and installing wood flooring to my resume.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each month, InterCOM will highlight a &#8220;Student of the Month&#8221; from the College of Medicine.
