2018 Alumni Awards Highlight: Young Alumni

The Young Alumni award recognizes alumni who have graduated within the past 5 years, have shown outstanding career achievement and have made significant contributions to the community and/or the University. The winners were Monica Bermudez and Maria Andrade.

Monica proudly represents our Miami campus. She graduated with honors in 2017 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and currently works at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. Her compassion and care for children inspired her to write a children’s book titled “A Little Hero’s Visit to the Hospital” which you can find on Amazon.

Maria graduated in 2015 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and is now the Director of Nursing at Irvine Home Health. Her position allows her to return to WCU in the hiring of many of our new grads including 24 in 2018 alone. Her enthusiasm for WCU is energizing and she volunteers her time giving campus tours to special guests.

Congratulations! We are very excited to celebrate your future accomplishments.
