Carolyn L. Zook
Associate Director and Pre-Health Advisor, Center for Community and Global Health
Welcome!
Whether you are just beginning to explore the variety of options available in the health professions, or you are ready to apply to professional school, I am here to support and guide you on your journey.
I have worked in higher ed for over 20 years. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of supporting the futures of aspiring professionals in the health professions through my roles as an educator, mentor, and advisor. I am deeply committed to empowering the next generation of healthcare leaders.
Driven by a genuine desire to see students thrive, my mentorship philosophy revolves around personalized guidance, skill development, and holistic support. I believe in creating a nurturing environment where students can explore their potential, overcome challenges, and emerge as well-rounded professionals.
I draw inspiration and energy from working with students, witnessing their resilience and growth, and coaching them as they navigate the complexities of finding their career path in the health professions.
