Cytologist Carla Berg ’83 spoke at the Health Professions Institute’s weekly seminar on Oct. 24.

“The part of Carla‘s speech in which she told us to not to be afraid of what we want to do, as well as to have robust confidence, was most compelling to me. From a younger age, I have envisioned myself going to school, earning an undergrad degree, graduating from a graduate school, and beginning a successful career in physical therapy. Sometimes, I‘ve hit some roadblocks, but I realize that everyone hits those obstacles from time to time. Carla only enhanced my desire to come back strongly from these barriers, and become a stronger, more confident student. She helped me set aside my fears of failure a little, and she definitely helped give me a confidence boost. I firmly believe that everything she said about putting aside fear to be true.”—Zachary Lyons ’23

“I took a lot from Ms. Berg’s talk. I personally learned so much about a field I wasn’t really familiar with. I had an idea of what a cytotech did, however after her talk I realize they do so much more. I also really enjoyed her answer when asked what advice she would give us after being in the science field for so long. She said, ‘never be afraid to do anything.’ This statement stuck with me because of the power of this statement. A lot of the times we fear to do things because of the outcome of fear of denial or unacceptance, but in order to get to where we want to be an to reach our goals, we have to step outside our comfort zone and not be afraid to do things. Overall, I loved listening to Ms. Berg’s talk and took quite a lot from it.”—Matthew Hess ’20
