🌟 Last night, we celebrated the 2026 Graduation Ceremony of the Health Career Opportunities Program (HCOP) at UConn and what a night it was!
These incredible students are heading to colleges across the country to chase their dreams in medicine, dentistry, research, and beyond. We couldn't be more proud. 💙
Through the ACTS mentoring program at UConn's Student Doctors Academy, we connect underrepresented high school students with doctors, dentists, and researchers giving them a window into the world of healthcare careers.
A huge thank you to Dr. Marja Hurley and Dr. Kerry-Ann Stewart for their incredible leadership of HCOP, and to every mentor who showed up for these students this year. 🙏
