Texas Health Science Scholars

To conclude our senior shoutouts, we are featuring Michael Wright. Michael is from Colleyville, TX. Michael graduated with a BSA in Biology Honors, Business of Healthcare Certificate, and Pre-Health Professions Certificate.

His favorite HSS memory was hosting last year's HSS banquet with his friend Jarrett. We wish him the best of luck as he attends Baylor College of Medicine this fall! Congrats Michael!

Our next senior we would like to highlight is Lauren Rahman. Lauren is from Plano, TX, and she studied Biochemistry with a minor in Sociology.

Lauren served on the HSS council in the social committee. Her favorite HSS memory was late night swimming at her freshmen year campout. She also treasures the LSU football game where she sat at the very front.

Next, she is headed to Long School of Medicine. Best of luck Lauren!!

Keeping on with the Senior Shoutouts, next we have Ryan Ward!
⠀
From his hometown in Arlington, Ryan graduated UT with a major in Biochemistry and Plan II, while also completing the Spanish for Healthcare Professions certificate. One of his favorite memories at UT was going to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl! 🏈

Ryan’s favorite HSS memory was finally finishing his HSS thesis! We hope Ryan continues to find success as he goes on to Medical School at Baylor! 🐻

Next up on our Senior Shoutouts, we have Meghana Gogineni!

Hailing from Houston, Meghana graduated with a BSA in neuroscience. One of her favorite memories at UT was seeing the tower light up 2020 at Gone to Texas.🤘

Meghana’s favorite HSS memory was also her first HSS campout, where she says she made some of the friendships she’s most thankful for (as well as the sunrise). We are so proud of Meghana and give her the best of wishes as she goes on to work at MD Anderson for a gap-year as well as helping out nonprofits abroad, before she applies to medical school.

To kick off our Senior Shoutouts, we would like to feature Jarrett Rong!
