Heather Palmer, Academic Advisor, Undergraduate Program

Biomedical Engineering’s Academic Advisor Is 2015 Staff Award Recipient

If only all university students had an undergraduate academic advisor like Heather Palmer. Heather is more than just someone who guides students through college life. She is an advocate, someone who is trusting, compassionate, understanding — in other words, a true friend. Whether it’s through class orientations or confidential one-on-one sessions, Heather helps students in our bioengineering department effectively navigate through their college careers, making sure they are on the best course for success. And she does it with energy, enthusiasm and while possessing the best people and communication skills students have ever seen. We’re proud of the work she has done and the students she has impacted, and we look forward to new generations of undergraduates who will benefit from her devotion and desire to help..
