Editor’s Note: Every Comet follows a distinct path to UT Dallas, and members of the Class of 2019 are no exception. Hagge began searching for a degree program that emphasized both health care and management and found it at UT Dallas. As a junior, Hagge joined the healthcare management program in the Naveen Jindal School of Management. She quickly took advantage of educational and networking opportunities through the North Texas chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives and UTD’s Healthcare Management Association student organization. I was the vice president for the Healthcare Management Association for the 2018 academic year.
