1. Lucy Hobbs came to the University of Wisconsin already knowing she wanted to study nursing so she could make a positive difference in the lives of others.Once she was on campus,she realized she could make an even greater impact on her future patients by adding a second major(專業(yè)),one in Spanish.
"I was drawn to nursing because I want a career that will be fulfilling and will help me serve others," says Hobbs. "I chose to add a major in Spanish because I love learning about other cultures,and I want to do something for those easily ignored populations in my nursing career."
In addition to her nursing and Spanish curriculum,Hobbs found multiple interesting ways to bring her majors together,including things like research and study abroad.Hobbs was part of a research project that is documenting the experiences of Spanish-speaking populations in western Wisconsin during COVID-19.The research team included students and teachers in languages,history and nursing.
In addition to her research,studying abroad was also helpful.She spent part of the spring 2020 semester studying in Costa Rica. "This was my first time outside of the U.S.and I learned so much about Costa Rican culture," Hobbs says.
While she found many opportunities within her majors,Hobbs also had meaningful experiences on campus that were outside of nursing and Spanish.For example,she worked as a resident assistant in the dorms and is a member of the University Honors Program. "All these experiences helped me to enhance my time on campus by giving me opportunities to meet amazing and inspiring individuals who I believe will remain lifetime friends,"
Hobbs says, "All these experiences also helped to shape how I think about the future." After she graduates in May,Hobbs will begin her nursing career working in the emergency room at UW Health's University Hospital in Madison.
