Why Shenandoah?
Silvia Murcia, ’20
Richmond, Virginia
Silvia was born in a village of 200 people nestled among the mountains of Honduras. She traveled thousands of miles — sleeping in the desert, crawling through cacti, and experiencing life inside a detention center and maximum security prison — to finally become a graduate physician assistant student at Shenandoah University.
"When I was accepted to Shenandoah, I couldn’t believe it. Five years ago I was thinking about this moment, and now I’m here. It means everything to me. It was the best decision.”
