UNC Greensboro has an excellent track record of placing students in top graduate programs across the nation. UNCG alumni have landed at Georgetown, UNC Chapel Hill, Duke, Tulane, and most recently, Yale.
This fall, Jacqueline Sandoval ’21, a public health education alumna, will begin a Master of Public Health at Yale University, one of the top research universities in the world.
Just one look at Sandoval’s CV, and it’s easy to see why she was a top candidate for Yale. She was a Spartan of Promise, McNair Scholar, former SOAR staff member, CHANCE mentor – the list goes on. She excelled in her coursework, in her research, and in community engagement. And above all, she’s passionate about public health and its far-reaching impact.
Originally I came to UNCG as a pre-med student, but then I realized that the work I want to do involves a bigger community. In medicine, you’re working one-on-one with patients, but in public health, the community is your patient.
