Here are some other recent UTC stories featured in the Newsroom:
- The UTC Karate Club, one of Campus Recreation’s club sports, is relatively new on campus. The organization began during the 2023-2024 academic year and practices just once per week. But when the club went up against seasoned competitors from traditional martial arts academies—including scholarship athletes from Bryan College’s Martial Arts Academy—the results told a different story.
- Through the AHEAD-RN traineeship led by Dr. Brooke Epperson, associate director of the School of Nursing and the undergraduate program coordinator, eight nursing students are diving into the realities of rural health care. They’re learning that providing quality care in these communities isn’t just about medical skills—it’s about adaptability, cultural sensitivity and resourcefulness in environments where health care access can be severely limited.
- UC Foundation Professor of Psychology Amye Warren’s research was highlighted at the College of Arts and Sciences’ annual Spotlight on Faculty Excellence event.
- Assistant Professor of Anthropology Emma McDonell’s book, “The Quinoa Bust: The Making and Unmaking of an Andean Miracle Crop,” is based on 18 months of first-hand ethnographic research in the highlands of Peru.
