When Megan Lotero graduated from UAH in 2010 with her bachelor’s degree from the College of Nursing, her only ambition was to be a successful nurse by taking good care of her patients. As an undergraduate, Lotero came to UAH on a softball scholarship, displaying superior skill both on the field and in the classroom. "Megan is so tough, so strong, such a hard worker, and such a great teammate," says Les Stuedeman, head softball coach at UAH and mentor to Lotero. "I was lucky to have coached her and to now count her as one of my friends."
