SLDP Student 2022, Leah Vandecar
“My name is Leah Vandecar and I am one of the two students selected for the SLDP in Michigan! I accidentally found the rad tech program at Oakland University, however after research thought it would be a great fit for me and I am now a senior student. I never want to give up being a rad tech completely, but my goals for my career are to continue on with school and hopefully become a PA or MD. I look forward to everything this program has to offer and all of the connections I will be making!”

“Hello! My name is Sarah Nyquist and I am a senior in the RAD Tech program through Oakland University. My current modality interests are radiography, computed tomography, and radiologist assistant. This is my second year (out of three) in the SLDP, affiliated with the Michigan Society of Radiologic Technologists, and it has been a wonderful opportunity to meet representatives in the field and to advocate for its importance. I am looking forward to enhancing my skills as a technologist and as a leader throughout these three years!”
