Michelle Sherman

I became a Terrier F1rsts Advocate to learn more about the unique challenges our first-generation college students face and how to better serve them from a pre-health advising lens. I also want to make sure students and eligible alumni are aware of the Pre-Professional Advising Office! My pre-health advising colleagues and I are available to help any undergraduate student, as well as any alumni from one of our undergraduate programs. We are available to discuss anything to do with being on the pre-health track. For example, curriculum planning, exploring your interests through experiential learning opportunities, building your network, developing your overall portfolio, preparing for the application process, how to ask and who to ask to write your letters of recommendation, and much more!
