note <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community<br />
two years ago samuel merritt university celebrated 100<br />
years of educating generations of healthcare providers.<br />
our vision of becoming a nationally recognized health<br />
sciences institution has since propelled us in<strong>to</strong> our second<br />
century. we are working <strong>to</strong> achieve ever-higher goals in<br />
learning, teaching, and scholarly research that will advance<br />
our mission: transforming <strong>the</strong> experience of healthcare in<br />
diverse communities.<br />
as a learning community preparing students for a variety<br />
of health professions, we have spent considerable time<br />
examining what it means <strong>to</strong> be samuel merritt university.<br />
we have looked closely at what we are doing exceedingly<br />
well and have identified areas where we can improve.<br />
we have set “stretch” goals and become more disciplined<br />
about evaluating our progress. we have studied <strong>the</strong><br />
successes and challenges of similar higher education<br />
institutions so that we could compare ourselves and learn<br />
from <strong>the</strong>m. in this process, we have answered some<br />
questions and raised many more.<br />
what distinguishes samuel merritt university in <strong>the</strong><br />
early decades of <strong>the</strong> 21st century? our passion and our<br />
practicality; <strong>the</strong> combination of head and heart. <strong>the</strong><br />
students, faculty, and staff who choose samuel merritt<br />
university come because of our vision, our commitment<br />
<strong>to</strong> excellence, and <strong>the</strong> hands-on approach <strong>to</strong> learning that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y find here. we are capturing that balance in <strong>the</strong> new<br />
look of our publications, website, and advertising.<br />
engaging <strong>the</strong> whole smu community, we noted our<br />
strengths in clinical experience and simulation-based<br />
learning. we found students, faculty, and alumni value<br />

<strong>the</strong> balance of learning and doing that <strong>the</strong>y find at <strong>the</strong><br />
university. we have expressed it as preparation + practice;<br />
research + results; analysis + action; insight + impact;<br />
and technology + <strong>to</strong>uch. we have featured <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>mes<br />
of research, practice and technology in this year’s report.<br />
our second century calls for deepening samuel merritt<br />
university’s commitment <strong>to</strong> diversity. over <strong>the</strong> past 24<br />
months, students, faculty, and staff have worked <strong>to</strong> create<br />
<strong>the</strong> culture that will make each individual feel respected,<br />
welcomed, and supported as a valued member of <strong>the</strong><br />
university community. located in our nation’s most diverse<br />
state, samuel merritt university is embracing <strong>the</strong> challenge of<br />
serving a more diverse mix of students, increasing diversity<br />
in <strong>the</strong> faculty and staff, and preparing our graduates <strong>to</strong><br />
work with patients and practitioners from many different<br />
backgrounds. as healthcare and health professions become<br />
global in <strong>the</strong>ir reach, this becomes even more essential.<br />
we are pleased <strong>to</strong> report that <strong>the</strong> university remains<br />
financially sound and continues <strong>to</strong> grow, despite <strong>the</strong> slow<br />
economic recovery. our faculty has dramatically increased<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir research and scholarly activities while maintaining<br />
high-quality teaching. we have systematically improved<br />
our campus facilities <strong>to</strong> support more interactive learning.<br />
our students continue <strong>to</strong> excel in <strong>the</strong>ir studies and <strong>to</strong><br />
succeed in <strong>the</strong> workplace after graduation.<br />
we have much <strong>to</strong> be grateful for, and we particularly<br />
appreciate your support of <strong>the</strong> university’s success.<br />
please enjoy <strong>the</strong> following pages, and thank you for <strong>the</strong><br />
many ways you have participated in our work.<br />

new brand identity<br />
no doubt you have noticed <strong>the</strong> new logo that graces <strong>the</strong><br />
cover of this report. we hope you get a sense of <strong>the</strong> new<br />
look as you flip through <strong>the</strong> pages. new colors and images,<br />
and best of all, fresh words: <strong>the</strong> report <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community<br />
introduces a completely new way <strong>to</strong> communicate all <strong>the</strong><br />
great things happening at samuel merritt university. please<br />
welcome our new brand identity!<br />
in late 2009, we asked san francisco brand specialists,<br />
mortar advertising (known for <strong>the</strong>ir work with golden gate<br />
university, stanford and sutter health vna & hospice) <strong>to</strong><br />
think about how we might modernize and change <strong>the</strong> way<br />
we write and talk about smu.<br />
we needed a new way <strong>to</strong> describe our impact on <strong>the</strong><br />
community and our commitment <strong>to</strong> becoming a nationally<br />
renowned university of health sciences.<br />
mortar started <strong>the</strong> makeover process by interviewing<br />
members of our staff, faculty, students, regents, and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r healthcare professionals involved with our students.<br />
recommendations for a new logo and brand design<br />
were proposed, approved and <strong>the</strong> work of refreshing<br />
our identity began in earnest. at last count, <strong>the</strong> process<br />
involved over 3,000 members of our community including
ePort <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community 2010 — 2011<br />
potential students, alumni, thought leaders and donors.<br />
many of you were kind enough <strong>to</strong> participate in providing<br />
your feedback on <strong>the</strong> chosen design, which is meant <strong>to</strong><br />
convey smu’s new brand identity:<br />
> We are confident leaders. <strong>the</strong> health sciences<br />
community can look <strong>to</strong> us for inspiration, innovation<br />
and guidance.<br />
> We are thinkers AnD doers. we are an institution built by<br />
academic pioneers who support innovation and research.<br />
> We are people of <strong>the</strong> people. smu places a premium<br />
on providing hands-on, clinical excellence and inspiring<br />
exceptional interpersonal skills.<br />
> We have an emotionally superior staff. <strong>the</strong> many talented<br />
people of smu are passionate, encouraging and caring.<br />
> our students attend smu because it is <strong>the</strong> best. our<br />
academic environment is perceived as fast-paced, rigorous<br />
and prestigious with a diverse and thriving community.<br />
we’re glad <strong>to</strong> report that <strong>the</strong> new creative direction<br />
scored highly in every one of <strong>the</strong>se areas.<br />

<strong>the</strong> result is a new way <strong>to</strong> communicate about samuel<br />
merritt university. our new brand identity reflects our<br />
passion, dedication and drive <strong>to</strong> deliver an exceptional<br />
education in health sciences. we are particularly grateful<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community members and friends whose input<br />
contributed <strong>to</strong> this project.<br />
we’re looking forward <strong>to</strong> sharing more of <strong>the</strong> new brand in<br />
<strong>the</strong> next few months <strong>to</strong> come. let us know what you think:<br />

research & results<br />
throughout its his<strong>to</strong>ry, samuel merritt university has<br />
excelled at teaching. with a student <strong>to</strong> faculty ratio that<br />
averages 10 <strong>to</strong> 1, classes are known <strong>to</strong> be small, interactive<br />
and hands-on. during clinical rotations, students have<br />
access <strong>to</strong> precep<strong>to</strong>rs at <strong>the</strong> hospital, or o<strong>the</strong>r clinical<br />
sites, at a ratio of no more than 8 <strong>to</strong> 1. depending on <strong>the</strong><br />
specialty, a ratio of 1 <strong>to</strong> 1 may be required <strong>to</strong> provide safe<br />
patient care. <strong>the</strong>se<br />
fac<strong>to</strong>rs have enabled<br />
<strong>the</strong> curricula across<br />
all disciplines <strong>to</strong><br />
be consistently<br />
rigorous, fastpaced<br />
and learnercentered,<br />
with<br />
primary emphasis<br />
on student learning<br />
and patient safety.<br />

university culture has<br />
changed dramatically<br />
in <strong>the</strong> last several<br />
years, accelerating since <strong>the</strong> college became a university<br />
in 2009. although research has been traditionally infused<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong> teaching and learning experience, smu<br />
is beginning <strong>to</strong> develop within its faculty more focused<br />
efforts <strong>to</strong> produce a broad range of scholarship that<br />
can directly contribute <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> knowledge base of <strong>the</strong><br />
professional degrees that <strong>the</strong> university offers. where<br />
faculty have long been recognized as expert practitioners<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir fields, <strong>the</strong> scholarly qualifications and interests<br />
of our professoriate have increased in impressive ways.<br />

faculty are regularly published in peer-reviewed journals<br />
and books, many more are invited <strong>to</strong> serve on national<br />
boards or professional committees, and a growing number<br />
have been awarded grants and o<strong>the</strong>r professional honors.<br />
research accomplishments by smu faculty are numerous.<br />
<strong>the</strong> university has begun <strong>to</strong> emphasize <strong>the</strong> important<br />
role of faculty scholarship by including research as one<br />
of <strong>the</strong> 20 dashboard indica<strong>to</strong>rs of overall institutional<br />
performance. scholarly production is clearly increasing.<br />
over <strong>the</strong> last four years, measures of scholarly productivity<br />
have increased over 200 percent. <strong>the</strong>re was minimal grant<br />
activity among faculty eight years ago. since that time, <strong>the</strong><br />
university has received an excess of nine million dollars<br />
in externally funded research and program development<br />
grants. <strong>the</strong> smu research agenda reflects a diversity of<br />
<strong>to</strong>pics important <strong>to</strong><br />
national health issues,<br />
notably in <strong>the</strong> areas<br />
of multiple sclerosis<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> traditional<br />
hospital<br />
environment, as was<br />
common in <strong>the</strong> past.<br />
<strong>to</strong>day’s fast-paced<br />
clinical settings require<br />
that university faculty<br />
find new and inventive<br />
clinical settings in<br />
which students can learn. <strong>the</strong> university highly values <strong>the</strong><br />

“one of <strong>the</strong> newest and increasingly common educational<br />
practices is <strong>to</strong> incorporate human simulation in a<br />

this is a valuable way <strong>to</strong> prepare students <strong>to</strong> take better<br />
advantage of real patient interactions, as <strong>the</strong>ir skill set is<br />
much greater and more sophisticated.”<br />
in <strong>the</strong> school<br />
of nursing<br />
students are<br />
placed in clinical<br />
settings within<br />
<strong>the</strong> first year of<br />

experience <strong>to</strong> practice <strong>the</strong> skills learned in class, lab<br />
or through simulation. <strong>the</strong> clinical experience for nursing<br />
students may occur on any day of <strong>the</strong> week and any shift.<br />
undergraduate students are placed in acute care and<br />
community settings in groups of 8 <strong>to</strong> 10 students. <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are accompanied by a clinical instruc<strong>to</strong>r who guides <strong>the</strong><br />

patients at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong>ir second year. “Our clinical<br />
experiences are 100 percent hands-on and include secondyear<br />
rotations at <strong>the</strong> busy Alameda County Medical Center,<br />
which operates Highland Hospital, <strong>the</strong> San Francisco<br />
homeless shelters, and <strong>the</strong> SMU simulation center,” explains<br />
Eric Stamps, DPM, Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs and<br />
Assistant Professor. “Highland Hospital is a county teaching<br />
hospital with a solid<br />
educational culture.<br />
It has a high volume<br />
of patients, often<br />
with undertreated<br />
disease. Our<br />
students excel<br />
in this busy<br />
environment.”<br />
Third year podiatric<br />
clinical experiences<br />
Dr. Eric Stamps, California School extend throughout<br />
of Podiatric Medicine<br />
<strong>the</strong> year and include<br />
general surgery, internal<br />
medicine, biomechanics and three months of podiatric<br />
medicine and surgery. The third year also includes a month<br />
in a private practitioner’s office.<br />
“The idea is <strong>to</strong> teach <strong>the</strong> students something about private<br />
practice, <strong>to</strong> allow students <strong>to</strong> form relationships with<br />
potential future business partners and <strong>to</strong> spread <strong>the</strong> word<br />
about our educational program,” said Dr. Stamps. “Many of<br />
our private office practitioners have been involved with this<br />
program for decades.”
Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy students<br />
also have unique clinical environments. Portions of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
clinical work take place in <strong>University</strong> sponsored clinics.<br />
These clinics focus on rehabilitation issues and serve<br />
individuals who have a physical or mental impairment that<br />
substantially limits <strong>the</strong>ir skills of daily living, and serve<br />
those who have exhausted <strong>the</strong>ir health insurance.<br />
Michael De Rosa, PhD, MPH, PA-C, Chair of <strong>the</strong> Master<br />
Physician Assistant program, credits early clinical<br />
placement as one of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p reasons why his program<br />
has a 98 percent<br />
first time pass rate<br />
on <strong>the</strong> Physician<br />
Assistant National<br />
Certification<br />
Examination for<br />
all graduates.<br />
(Average national<br />
first time pass rate<br />
over same period is<br />
91 percent.)<br />

The excellence of any<br />
type of practitioner<br />
is largely dependent on <strong>the</strong> quality and range of clinical<br />
care offered <strong>to</strong> students during <strong>the</strong>ir educational program.<br />
“These responsibilities are managed by dedicated faculty<br />
whose sole role is scheduling and managing clinical sites<br />
and <strong>the</strong>ir attendant contracts,” adds Dr. Foster. “It is well<br />
accepted that in <strong>the</strong> academic community, <strong>the</strong>se clinical<br />
coordina<strong>to</strong>rs have some of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>ughest jobs handling a<br />
myriad of sites, contracts, student issues, scheduling, and<br />
of course, counseling and evaluating students through this<br />
most critical phase of <strong>the</strong>ir education.”<br />

identify and treat sepsis<br />
each year, sepsis strikes an estimated 750,000 people in<br />
<strong>the</strong> united states. sepsis is a severe illness in which <strong>the</strong><br />
bloodstream is overwhelmed by bacteria and is <strong>the</strong> leading<br />
cause of death for non-cardiac, critically ill patients in<br />
<strong>the</strong> u.s. sepsis is <strong>the</strong> one diagnosis-specific initiative that<br />
<strong>the</strong> institute for healthcare improvement recommends<br />
hospitals remedy.<br />
samuel merritt university and sutter health, parent<br />
company of <strong>the</strong> university, are working <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> tackle<br />
this nationwide problem by providing additional training<br />
in early recognition of signs and symp<strong>to</strong>ms of sepsis. <strong>the</strong><br />
goal is aimed at reducing <strong>the</strong> rate of reported sepsisassociated<br />
mortality.<br />
this past year several physicians from many sutter<br />
health hospitals across california have participated<br />
in university simulation-based seminars held in <strong>the</strong><br />
health sciences simulation center (hssc) <strong>to</strong> practice<br />
medical techniques ranging from surgery <strong>to</strong> patient<br />
examinations. an important outcome of <strong>the</strong>se sessions<br />

that doc<strong>to</strong>rs achieve in medical schools.<br />
“while hands-on, experiential learning is indispensable,<br />
healthcare professionals are increasingly concerned about,<br />
and committed <strong>to</strong>, <strong>the</strong> safety of patients,” explains celeste<br />
villanueva, crna, ms, direc<strong>to</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> hssc at samuel merritt<br />
university. “with simulation learning, healthcare providers<br />
have <strong>the</strong> opportunity <strong>to</strong> develop and refine <strong>the</strong>ir skills using<br />
simulation technology — without putting patients at risk.”<br />
“as physicians we’re classically trained <strong>to</strong> be nonverbal,”<br />
explains gary goldman, dds md, medical direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
obstetric anes<strong>the</strong>sia at east bay anes<strong>the</strong>sia medical<br />
group. “i find simulation practice <strong>to</strong> be an invaluable<br />
<strong>to</strong>ol that puts <strong>the</strong> emphasis on communication with one<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r, and with patients and <strong>the</strong>ir family members.”<br />
Drs. Richard Stern, Gary Goldman<br />
and Michael Halperin<br />
since <strong>the</strong> opening of<br />
<strong>the</strong> hssc, faculty<br />
and students<br />
across programs<br />
use human-like<br />
mannequins<br />
for developing<br />
patient practice<br />
competencies<br />
which have been<br />
proven <strong>to</strong> optimize<br />
clinical outcomes.<br />
<strong>the</strong>se mannequins are<br />
managed by highly
ePort <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community 2010 — 2011<br />
sophisticated computer software so that <strong>the</strong> learners can<br />
practice and repeat procedures as often as necessary<br />
in order <strong>to</strong> correct mistakes and fine-tune skills. <strong>the</strong><br />
computerized mannequins (also called virtual patients)<br />
are able <strong>to</strong> talk <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> physician or student nurse,<br />
podiatrist, or physical or occupational <strong>the</strong>rapist about <strong>the</strong><br />
symp<strong>to</strong>ms being experienced, and even react <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> drugs<br />
prescribed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
“it was an odd scenario, controlled, but real <strong>to</strong> life <strong>to</strong>o,” said<br />
marc martinez, md, emergency medicine in sou<strong>the</strong>rn california.<br />
“you get <strong>to</strong> see yourself in action when <strong>the</strong> simulation is<br />
reviewed by video debriefing. it was helpful because <strong>the</strong><br />
instruc<strong>to</strong>rs pointed out things that i would not have thought of<br />
before, like communication and shared mental models.”<br />
in <strong>the</strong> seminar for sutter health doc<strong>to</strong>rs, responses<br />
from <strong>the</strong> virtual patients enabled <strong>the</strong> physicians <strong>to</strong> make<br />
adjustments <strong>to</strong> his or her diagnosis based on data from <strong>the</strong><br />
simulation. doc<strong>to</strong>rs, with <strong>the</strong> aid of smu faculty simulation<br />

“doc<strong>to</strong>rs need <strong>to</strong> do this,”<br />
said dr. martinez. “you get a<br />
different perspective. it’s like<br />
a doc<strong>to</strong>r’s checklist.”<br />
“due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> power of immersive learning, <strong>the</strong> american<br />
board of medical specialties is mandating <strong>the</strong> inclusion<br />
of simulation exercises for maintenance of certification,”<br />
explains william stiers, md, hssc simulation specialist.<br />
“samuel merritt university is able <strong>to</strong> give doc<strong>to</strong>rs a real<br />
life scenario that <strong>the</strong>y use every day in recognizing early<br />
stages of sepsis development, and <strong>the</strong> mannequins provide<br />
a safe learning environment.”<br />
<strong>the</strong> simulation center includes operating rooms identical<br />
<strong>to</strong> those at <strong>the</strong> hospital, a skills lab where students practice<br />
procedures such as stitching sutures or performing<br />
colonoscopies, and patient rooms where students can<br />
practice communication skills and bedside manner. <strong>the</strong><br />
center has over a dozen medical mannequins that brea<strong>the</strong>,<br />
bleed and mimic injuries or diseases.<br />
Drs. Stephen Arnold and Neil Zelin with<br />

“i learned that<br />
physicians have <strong>the</strong><br />
same eagerness<br />
<strong>to</strong> learn as our<br />
students, and<br />
a willingness<br />
<strong>to</strong> immerse<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves in<br />
<strong>the</strong> suspension<br />
of disbelief that<br />
maximizes <strong>the</strong>
learning benefit of simulation,” says dr. stiers. “through<br />
simulation technology <strong>the</strong> efficacy of a providers training<br />
increases his or her proficiency in <strong>the</strong> early stages of<br />
developing surgical technique.”<br />
“doc<strong>to</strong>rs need <strong>to</strong> do this,” said dr. martinez. “you get a<br />

pradip choksi is a respected biomedical engineer,<br />
marathon runner and mountain climber who scaled<br />
mt. whitney in one day—on two separate occasions.<br />
but on may 15, 2004 his world was shattered when an<br />
unfortunate accident devastated pradip’s speech, mo<strong>to</strong>r<br />
skills and emotional well-being.<br />
during a leisurely bike ride, pradip suffered a debilitating<br />
head injury and, despite<br />
wearing a helmet, was<br />
in a coma for three<br />
weeks. <strong>the</strong> man<br />
who once climbed<br />
mountains now<br />
couldn’t crawl<br />
from his hospital<br />
bed, get dressed<br />
or form simple<br />
sentences. although<br />
his condition was<br />
extremely serious,<br />
with <strong>the</strong> help of several<br />
skilled doc<strong>to</strong>rs and<br />
<strong>the</strong>rapists, pradip<br />
learned <strong>to</strong> walk<br />
again and function at a level many thought not possible.<br />
testament <strong>to</strong> pradip’s character, his spirit and drive <strong>to</strong><br />
achieve remained intact.<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Choksi established <strong>the</strong><br />
Pradip and Rekha Choksi Occupational<br />
Therapy Endowed Scholarship Fund as<br />
a way <strong>to</strong> financially assist OT and PT<br />
students at <strong>Samuel</strong> <strong>Merritt</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

pradip’s wife, rekha, remembers <strong>the</strong> joy of watching<br />
her husband take his first steps in <strong>the</strong> hospital room.<br />
“i began <strong>to</strong> cry. i’m not even sure why.” <strong>the</strong>se steps were<br />
monumental for pradip and his family, with years of<br />
<strong>the</strong>rapy yet <strong>to</strong> come. rekha finds new joy in <strong>the</strong> daily<br />
walks she now takes with her husband, and time spent with<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir grandchildren is cherished.<br />

education has always been<br />
important <strong>to</strong> pradip and<br />
he worked hard <strong>to</strong> earn his<br />
graduate degree in <strong>the</strong> united<br />
states, leaving his native <strong>to</strong>wn<br />
of bombay. “i benefited from<br />
scholarships in india and financial<br />
assistance in <strong>the</strong> united states,” pradip<br />
said. “both of which were merit and<br />
need based.”<br />
after receiving his degree, pradip secured a position as<br />
a biomedical engineer at a medical company. eventually<br />
<strong>the</strong> entrepreneur and inven<strong>to</strong>r started his own successful<br />
enterprise, resenex corporation, which offers innovative<br />
fluid products for medical and industrial applications.<br />
education holds an important place in <strong>the</strong> choksi<br />
household as <strong>the</strong> family values academic excellence.<br />
“with education you can go anywhere and be successful,”<br />
rekha commented with pride. “you also develop a<br />
maturity along with your knowledge.”<br />
pradip’s appreciation for <strong>the</strong> opportunities awarded <strong>to</strong> him<br />
never wavered as he and rekha continue <strong>to</strong> be actively<br />
involved in <strong>the</strong>ir community. “we give contributions as a
ePort <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community 2010 — 2011<br />
way of giving back <strong>to</strong> educational institutions and nonprofit<br />
organizations that have meaning <strong>to</strong> us,” he said. “i<br />
am where i am only because of education.”<br />
pradip and rekha were pleased <strong>to</strong> see <strong>the</strong>ir daughter,<br />
shefali, take her own path in<strong>to</strong> a health sciences<br />
profession. she graduated in 1999 with a master’s degree<br />
in occupational <strong>the</strong>rapy from samuel merritt university.<br />
after her fa<strong>the</strong>r’s accident, shefali left her practice as an<br />
occupational <strong>the</strong>rapist <strong>to</strong> help run <strong>the</strong> family business, but<br />
her mo<strong>the</strong>r believes shefali’s education and experience<br />
dramatically assisted in pradip’s recovery. “i felt glad that<br />
shefali was an occupational <strong>the</strong>rapist because that helped<br />
in my husband’s rehab.”<br />
<strong>the</strong> family also decided <strong>the</strong> education of <strong>the</strong>se muchneeded<br />
professionals held an important place in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
hearts. in 2007, <strong>the</strong> choksi’s established <strong>the</strong> Pradip and<br />
Rekha Choksi Occupational Therapy Endowed Scholarship<br />
Fund. despite its name, <strong>the</strong> fund also benefits physical<br />
<strong>the</strong>rapy students. scholarships are granted <strong>to</strong> students<br />
based on <strong>the</strong>ir academic achievement and financial<br />
need. it also requires recipients <strong>to</strong> be actively involved in<br />
<strong>the</strong> community. “study a lot, work hard, and donate,” is<br />
pradip’s advice.<br />
rekha hopes this scholarship will enable future skilled<br />
occupational <strong>the</strong>rapists and physical <strong>the</strong>rapists <strong>to</strong> help<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs through <strong>the</strong>ir health struggles in a thoughtful,<br />
professional and caring way.<br />
shefali agrees. “i’m proud of my parents’ generosity, even<br />
in <strong>the</strong> face of personal adversity.”<br />
