Nancy, Thea, Kisha, Cindy, Karen & everyone who lent a hand in planning and decorating, you are awesome for going above and beyond to honor our past while boldly shaping our future. Your vision, creativity, and countless behind-the-scenes hours are bringing SHP’s 50-year legacy to life in ways that inspire pride, connection, and momentum across our community.

Because of you, we’re not just celebrating history—we’re building on it. Thank you for leading with heart, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the mission of Rutgers School of Health Professions. 💛

For going above and beyond for our Newark Students who were displaced from the dorms. They spent time out of their weekend to ensure our students were safe, their needs were met, that they felt heard, and were supported. I am proud to be a member of a school that goes above and beyond.

Her strategic vision and creative execution have resulted in a cohesive brand identity that represents our school's values and mission.
