In June,, the Office of Recruitment, Student and Alumni Services hosted a Virtual Open House via Zoom on the topic of LGBTQ+ Medicine. There was a hour-long panel hosted by Kate Altieri, Director of COM Recruitment. Our panelists included Marilyn Gugliucci, Ph.D, John-Paul Bettencourt, DO, and Student Doctor Sophia Blanchard, current president of the Medical Student Pride Alliance (MSPA)..

The panel provided an engaging discussion between prospective students, current students, faculty and alumni. The prospective students got a glimpse as to what it is like to be a UNE COM student, how to get involved in the COMmunity, and learned about the resources and opportunities UNE COM has as it relates to LGBTQ+ Community and Medicine. Contact Kate Altieri at [email protected] if you would like to participate in future recruitment panels or discussions.

Hello! My name is Kate Altieri and I am pleased to join the RSAS team as the Director of COM Recruitment. I have a long-standing connection to UNE as I am a two-time graduate and worked in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for a number of years.

 

As a part of my job with recruitment, I will be working with the COM community in a number of ways. Your UNE COM story helps me tell and demonstrate the UNE COM experience to prospective students in ways that I could never relay by myself. I look forward to meeting alumni at conferences or when I am on the road recruiting.

If you would like to get involved with the RSAS recruitment process or events, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected].
