Samantha Nobuhara of Mapleton, Utah received her associate degree in nursing (ASN) at the 2022 pinning ceremony and was given the College of Health and Public Service (CHPS) Valedictorian award. She was originally attracted to UVU because of its diversity and the amazing things she heard about UVU’s teachers. She was impressed by the university’s nursing program and has been grateful to work alongside the front-line healthcare workers in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic. “It has been so humbling for me,” Nobuhara says. “I’m proud I will be able to be a coworker to the amazing nurses I’ve met.” She says the best part about attending UVU has been the teachers. “I love that they all care so much about our success and are so passionate about what they teach.” During her time in school, Nobuhara has also served as a representative for the Student Nursing Association. She is moving forward in her plan to continue her education to become a nurse practitioner.
