ROSEMAN UNIVERSITY Recognizes Its First Hero Scholars
By Jason Roth
What does it mean to be a hero? Is it the superhuman abilities that are portrayed in movies, like that of our favorite Marvel characters? Sure, they’re heroic as they battle equally superhuman villains. Their extraordinary physical abilities and powers are always awe-inspiring and spark imagination. In the real world, our heroes are more unassuming. What they lack in superhuman abilities, they make up for in character – courage, passion, integrity, honesty, confidence, patience, selflessness, caring, humility, and support. A hero is anyone who uses these character traits to rise up and make a positive impact on others. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part it was the people who possess these characteristics – our frontline healthcare workers – that inspired the creation of Roseman’s Hero Scholars program. At a Hero Scholars awards luncheon held concurrently at the Roseman’s Henderson and South Jordan campuses on September 21, Vice President for Strategic Implementation and Engagement and Designer of the Hero Scholars program Vanessa Maniago shared that the program was developed to identify and reward future frontline healthcare professionals who have selflessly provided care to communities in need.
