          Dan Perez

          As a scientist, it is easy to get caught up in the ‘memorization maze’ that’s sometimes needed to succeed, but my Honors experience taught me to craft arguments, think laterally, and stretch myself outside of science.

          Dan Perez (Honors ’06)

          Dan graduated from Westminster in 2006 as a McNair Scholar with a degree in biology and minors in psychology and Spanish. While completing coursework toward a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences at Oxford University, Dan co-founded Hinge Health, a fast-growing digital health company based in San Francisco. Dan is currently the CEO of the company, which has raised $126 million in venture funding, grown to 300 employees, and treated over 40,000 patients.

          Kate Bradshaw

          Whether engaging in policy debates or preparing policy plans and objectives for clients, the oral and written communication skills I learned in the Honors program are at the heart of the communication style I use today.

          Kate Bradshaw (Honors ’03)

          Kate graduated from Westminster in 2003 with a major in history and a minor in political science. Kate’s previous positions as vice president of the Utah Food Industry and Utah Retail Merchant associations and her experience working with the Utah House of Representatives prepared her for her current position as director of government affairs at the law firm Holland & Hart, LLP. Since 2018, Kate has been councilwoman for the Bountiful City Council, served as chair of the Westminster College Alumni Board, and received the Utah Business 40 Under 40 award in 2020.

          Emma DeLoughery

          As an Honors student, I explored new ideas and engaged in thoughtful discussions. As a result, I know how to write, communicate a point, and question arguments with confidence—skills that have been essential in medical school.

          Emma DeLoughery (Honors ’16)

          Emma graduated from Westminster in 2016 with a degree in biology. Since then, Emma has completed her MD degree at Mayo Clinic School of Medicine and is currently a medical resident at Oregon Health and Science.

Emma credits the Honors College for getting her into medical school and helping her succeed.

          Ray Bradford

          The Honors College prepared me for both graduate school and my career by sharpening my ability to propose and defend ideas. Examining fundamental questions from multiple lenses is both core to a liberal arts education in the humanities and a timeless foundation for life.

          Ray Bradford (Honors ’07)

          Ray graduated from Westminster in 2007 with degrees in economics and finance and went on to get his MBA at Stanford University. Currently, Ray is the CEO of Spruce, a leading app for modern healthcare communication.

          I don’t think I would have sought out the medical humanities program—or carried through with it—if it hadn’t been for Westminster, Honors, and Honors College Dean Richard Badenhausen. Honors taught me early on why interdisciplinary education enriches the learning experience, regardless of your course of study.
