Eleni Rigopoulos, business administration (MBA) and healthcare administration graduate student

Q: What is your major?

A: “I am a graduate student, I’m studying healthcare administration and getting my MBA.”

Q: When you were a kid what did you want to be and why?

A: “As a kid, I wanted to be a veterinarian. I still would, except animals and pain make me sad and I realized I couldn’t handle the jobs.”

Q: Do you think students at UHCL have a voice? Why or why not?

A: “I definitely think that students have a voice here. I’ve worked for just a short time since the [Campus Recreation and Wellness Center] opened, but I noticed that all staff that I’ve interacted with in different departments are really open to the students’ opinions and open to new ideas, so I definitely feel heard as a student.”
