As an intern at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center, Gladys Gonzalez and her UWM classmate Jay Kumar led, constructed and implemented a business plan for the Living Kidney Donor Program. Gonzalez will continue to work in transplant administration with top administrators at Aurora St. Luke’s while pursuing a master’s degree in health care administration.
I want to make a difference,” Gonzalez said. “If I’m able to save someone’s life with my decision, I am satisfied.”
Gonzalez received a bachelor’s degree in health care administration. She was one of three graduates honored during UWM’s December 2015 commencement ceremony at which more than 2,300 students received diplomas. Combined with those who graduated in May, the total number of degrees awarded to the class of 2015 exceeds 4,800.
