The connection Frank Caruso ʼ26 MPH, ʼ19 DMSc has to the University of Lynchburg reflects a lasting commitment to learning, leadership, and service.

After completing his Doctor of Medical Science degree in 2019, Dr. Caruso returned to Lynchburg to earn his Master of Public Health, adding another meaningful chapter to a journey already rooted in healthcare education. As both a graduate and a faculty member in the DMSc program, he brings a perspective that speaks to the strength of the University’s academic community and the value of continuing to grow within it.

Dr. Caruso has helped shape healthcare leaders through his teaching in the Doctor of Medical Science Emergency Management and Global Health program while continuing his own study in public health. His latest degree reflects the same dedication that defines his career — a desire to keep learning, stay engaged in work that matters, and contribute in meaningful ways to the future of healthcare.

Some people come to Lynchburg for a degree and leave with a whole life built here. That’s true for Betsy Mohnkern ʼ24, ʼ26 MSAT.

Over the last several years, Lynchburg has been the backdrop for so much of her story as a student-athlete, future clinician, mentor, and professional. She spent five years on the track and field team as a sprinter and hurdler, earned her undergraduate degree in exercise physiology, passed her ACSM-EP certification exam, and now earned her Master of Science in Athletic Training. Along the way, she found not just academic and professional direction, but a community that became family.

During graduate school, Betsy worked with Lynchburg's baseball and men’s lacrosse, building the kind of relationships that made each rotation harder to leave than the last.

She also completed a case study on a firefighter who returned to duty with no deficits after a subarachnoid hemorrhage, research she plans to present at the 2026 NATA conference and submit to the Journal of Athletic Training.

Outside the classroom and clinic, Betsy stayed involved on campus through SAAC, ITA, and other campus work, continuing to invest in the Lynchburg community that has given so much to her.

Now, she’s preparing for what comes next — staying right here in Lynchburg, continuing her work with the Lynchburg Fire Department.

"Looking back at my time, I wouldn't have chosen a different school. I've met the most amazing people and mentors here and I couldn't imagine myself happy anywhere else. Shout out to all the girl bosses that have mentored me!"
