A MESSAGE FROM THE FIRST YEAR REPRESENTATIVES!
WELCOME BACK!
My name is Melissa Schmidt-Weymans and I am from San Diego, CA. Go BOLTS! Before applying to UIC I always found a reason work trip or personal to visit Chicago because the city is breathtaking, and the people are beyond friendly. I landed at UIC because of the promising preceptorship program. I look forward to being in the field with likeminded individuals and working passionately for a system I respect and believe in. As a first-year rep I hope to bring our cohort together for socials, studying and events which I know will help us form bonds that will last a lifetime.
Hi! My name is Alisiyah Daya and I am extremely thrilled to have moved to the beautiful Chicago from Toronto, Canada. I completed both my BS and MS at Western University, a city a couple hour outside of Toronto. Fun fact: Chicago is actually considered a "twin city" to Toronto! I chose to come to UIC in particular largely due to the preceptorship program. I'm excited to continue my academic journey towards my MHA degree, and to ultimately work in operations, strategy or system improvement. As a first-year rep I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better and create long lasting memories with you all! mbhjb
