STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Laura Nemeth, Nursing Major
How far can a degree from UNC take you? After graduating from UNC's School of Nursing, Laura Nemeth (BS-10) moved across the country to work in the specialized field of pediatric critical care. But that was just the beginning of her journey. Laura wanted to serve the needs of communities globally, communities that often suffer from limited access to healthcare.
