As part of St. Cloud State University’s Husky Healthcare Heroes campaign, below are submissions that have been made recognizing Huskies throughout the state, country and world who continue to work in keeping people healthy and safe in their communities.
Randi Kucala
“I would like to recognize Georgian Gross. She has been with St. Cloud State University for 45 or 50 years and now works full time as an OAS Principal. She works with Jenn Super and I believe she has worked every (or nearly every) testing event on campus as well as entered data for Vault to be able to process those tests. I believe Georgian should be recognized, and Jenn Super should absolutely be as well.”

Gunjan Suda “Being a Certified Pharmacy Technician, I am privileged enough to get the opportunity to help in the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year has been tough for everyone and continues to be challenging, but we have continuously adapted, and we should all be proud of that. I am so grateful that Coborns Pharmacy in St. Cloud provided the opportunity for their pharmacy staff to be able to administer COVID-19 vaccines. I am so thankful that I did not miss the chance to sign up as one of the Certified Vaccinators. When I receive patients who are there to get their vaccine, I see the excitement in their eyes, and after they thank me for the work I am doing, it makes me believe in myself and that what I do matters.” Gunjan is making a difference! Gunjan’s professor Will Collis-Prather and academic advisor knows she helps our community get through this pandemic and is proud to have her in the Applied Clinical Research graduate program. #huskyhealthcareHEROES |
