You are invited to the Health Professions Student Center in CUE 502 to see the happy photos of our successful students admitted to professional health programs last year. There are 24 future medical doctors, 72 nurses, 5 dentists, 37 pharmacists, 2 optometrists, 22 veterinary doctors, 2 physician assistants, 9 nutrition and exercise physiologists, and we welcomed a new cohort this year: 5 students admitted to law schools. Besides gaining admission to WSU, UW, PNUHS and Gonzaga, they are also attending University of Illinois, Loma Linda, South Carolina, Michigan State, UH Manoa, and 12 more universities across the US. We are proud as Cougars to share with you the smiling students who appear on our “WE MADE IT” bulletin board. Congratulations to them and to all of us!
