The Biology Department at Emmanuel is golden! 🏅

The program recently earned a gold medal from the Partnership for Undergraduate Life Sciences Education (PULSE), a nationally recognized nonprofit that promotes outstanding and inclusive instruction.

Following a comprehensive review of the Biology Department, PULSE praised its focus on inclusivity, saying it’s “probably the best equity work the site visitors have seen from colleges participating in the PULSE Recognition Program.”

The school’s focus on student-centered teaching and hands-on learning experiences also received high marks.

"We were thrilled to learn that the PULSE reviewers recognized our approaches to fostering student success as innovative and effective," said Associate Professor of Biology Dr. Anupama Seshan.

Recently named Chief Resident at University of Chicago Medical Center, an alum from the Class of 2017, Courtney Sniffen, MD had her eyes on medical education since her Emmanuel undergraduate days – but she didn’t always anticipate that she’d be in such an esteemed leadership position.

“I used to think to be a leader you had to be loud and command so much attention, but over time I realized you can find your own leadership style, and show that you can lead in your own way,” she said.

Discovering her own approach to leading as a peer tutor at Emmanuel, Sniffen took the experience with her as she continues to pursue her passion for medical education.
