Cardiac Tests Identify Nearly 100 Potential Health Issues

Last month’s free cardiac screening for students provided by the Max Schewitz Foundation identified nearly 100 with potential heart-related issues. A total of 2,125 students received EKG tests, and 91 had results that were outside normal limits and, for most, prompted an additional echocardiogram at no charge, according to the foundation. A handful of students receiving echocardiograms also were found to have high blood pressure. Slightly more than 60% of the students (1,294) met the early registration deadline in order to receive free results via email.

Alumnus Among State’s Student Laureates

Monica Chen, a 2013 Stevenson graduate, has been named the 2015 Lincoln Academy Student Laureate for the University of Illinois. Each year, the Lincoln Academy of Illinois recognizes outstanding seniors from each of the state’s four-year, degree-granting colleges and universities. They were honored in November at a ceremony held at the Old State Capitol Historic Site in Springfield. (Watch video of the ceremony; receives award at 36:10.) Students are honored for academic excellence and extracurricular involvement.

Chen, an accountancy major in the UI College of Business, is president of the Minority Business Students Association and the James Scholar Executive Committee – which she represents on the College of Business Council of Presidents. She also serves as a cultural integration circle leader for the Masters of Science in Accounting Mentor Program. Chen also competed in an international case competition with the College at the University of Sao Paulo, and mentored at-risk youth in the Champaign-Urbana area with the Prison Justice Project.

After graduation, Chen plans to serve as an intern with KPMG in its Chicago office. She will begin working on a master’s degree in accounting service next fall. Her career goal is to work in deal advisory or a consulting firm.
