HPAO Announces Awards
Anna Holt Shaw
Outstanding Pre-Veterinary Student Award Recipient
I am a B.A. in Biology major with minors in Psychology and Chemistry. I’m from a small town in eastern Tennessee called Crossville! This past year I’ve been the Health Professions Advising Office Pre-Vet ambassador and have loved every second of it! I’m glad to have helped others in pursuing this career. I’ve wanted to be a vet since I was little, so it’s a dream come true to be able to attend The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine this upcoming fall. A fun fact is that I’ve drawn blood from an eagle and assisted in a necropsy on a tiger! I hope to practice as a small animal veterinarian and take care of everyone’s sweet fur babies! Hotty Toddy!!
Meagan Mandabach
HPAO Most Valuable Person Award Recipient
Meagan Mandabach is graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences and minors in chemistry and psychology. She is returning to her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama to start medical school at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in July. Some of the things she’ll miss the most about Oxford are morning walks in Lamar Park, Christmas lights on the square, and the amazing people.

Luci Strong
Outstanding Pre-Nursing Student Award Recipient

Summer Jefferson
Community Difference Maker Award Recipient
I am a Biochemistry major with minors in Classics & Society and Health.My hometown is Cumming, GA. I am also a Stamps Scholar, a Taylor Medalist, a member of the Honors College, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, a member of Alpha Delta Pi, and Who’s Who for 2020. Some of my most meaningful memories at Ole Miss have been engaging with the campus and local communities through Colleges Against Cancer, Rebels for International Health and Education, and Relay for Life. Academically, my professors have pushed and encouraged me to combine my interests and pursue research in food insecurity that I have been able to present at the Southern Rural Sociological Association’s Annual Meeting (2020) and submit for publication in a journal. As a result, this award specifically means so much to me because of my extracurricular and research interests. During my gap year, I’m so excited to be working at the CDC again while I apply to med schools!

I am nineteen years old and from Brandon, Mississippi. I am majoring in dental hygiene, and I will be attending UMMC in the fall of 2020. I don’t go anywhere without my best friend, my dog Buddy. I love the rebs! I am so honored to be receiving this award! This just made my week! Hotty Toddy!!

Ole Miss Pre-Med Student Launches Medical American Sign Language Website
About
Ashley Barker is currently a premedical senior at the University of Mississippi obtaining a B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry, Psychology, and Neuroscience. Most importantly she is hard of hearing. Being involved in the medical field as a hard of hearing premed allowed her to realize the separation of the hearing world and the deaf/hoh world, especially in medicine. She created this website for anyone that has a lack of knowledge of deaf/hoh community and to help individuals learn ASL; in hopes to better themselves as healthcare professionals. She truly believes EVERYONE should learn basic ASL. It is a necessity to combine our worlds.
Happy signing!
