| UNDERGRADUATE & GRADUATE STUDENT INTERACTIONS |
I serve as the academic advisor for students pursuing professional education
in Veterinary Medicine
and Chiropractic Medicine. Additionally, I advise those biology majors who
are seeking graduate education in medical microbiology or immunology.
The key to curbing transmission of HIV infection and disease rests with
prevention education messages as delivered by peers of the target audience.
Thus, I continue to seek students interested in delivering such prevention
messages to their peer group.
