Katherine Fersadt has made UCF history. But who could imagine that she came to America just five years ago and knew little English? In Venezuela, her mom taught her strong values. Like giving back. You don’t want to go through life without meaning. You need to help as many people as possible. As a hospital volunteer, she learned: Patients need to be treated as individuals. And her moment in UCF history? It’s big. Katherine is the first student accepted into the new medical school.
