Students will be featured for their participation in activities outside of medical school and for making a difference in the community. The goal is to recognize students for what they are doing and to encourage other students to get involved in the community. After all, medical school should be much more than studying. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Name<\/strong>: Ariel Tarrell<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Hometown<\/strong>: Omaha<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Program\/Year<\/strong>: College of Medicine\/Class of 2017&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Education<\/strong>: B.S. in biochemistry &amp; molecular biology at Marquette University&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Activities<\/strong>:<br \/>\nCOM Class of 2017 Co-Philanthropy Chair<\/p>\n<p>\nEmergency Medicine Education and Training (EMET) in patient safety and clinical quality<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Staying Balanced<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>\nI stay balanced by making time to keep up with my hobbies! Recently I have been learning new songs on the piano. I love playing, and it is fun and relaxing. It is a good way to unwind after school work is done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nI also stay balanced by staying involved in the community.
