Eichmeyer inspires Allied Health Sciences Award
Winning an award for exceptional vision and leadership is a great accomplishment, but it isn’t very often that an individual inspires the creation of a new award. Such is the case for Jen Eichmeyer, program director for the Master of Science in Genetic Counseling Program and the recipient of the first School of Allied Health Sciences Award for Exceptional Vision and Leadership.
