STUDENT REGENT

Ms. Brooke Walterscheid of Muenster, Texas was appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott to serve the Â鶹ÌìÀǸ±ÀûÔº as Student Regent for a one-year term, expiring May 31, 2021. She is the 15th student to serve on the board and is the sixth to represent (Â鶹ÌìÀǸ±ÀûÔº).

As a student regent, Walterscheid serves on the Academic, Clinical and Student Affairs Committee.

Walterscheid earned her undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University (TTU) in 2016, graduating with a degree in cell and molecular biology with a minor in chemistry from the College of Arts & Sciences. She graduated magna cum laude with the highest honors from the Honors College. She was the top graduate in the Rawls College of Business in 2017, earning a Master of Business Administration from TTU’s Graduate School with a concentration in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).

She served as Â鶹ÌìÀǸ±ÀûԺ’s Student Government Association president in 2018-19, where she advocated for mental health and telemedicine funding during the 86th Texas legislative session. Her leadership position also led to her co-authoring a student field guide to advance Â鶹ÌìÀǸ±ÀûԺ’s values-based culture.

Walterscheid’s leadership and volunteer experience is extensive — as an undergraduate she was an Honors College Ambassador, a research fellow for the Center for the Integration of STEM Education and Research, a project analyst intern with the Office of Research Commercialization, vice president of membership of Mortar Board, a founding member of the Women’s Leadership Institute, a study abroad student at the Texas Tech Center in Seville, Spain, and a congressional intern providing legislative aid to Congressman Michael Burgess, M.D., to name a few.

As a student at Â鶹ÌìÀǸ±ÀûÔº, Walterscheid’s list of accomplishments and recognitions is equally prominent — she served as secretary of the Dermatology Club, volunteered with The Free Clinic, a student-run School of Medicine clinic and remains a member of the Texas Medical Association.

In addition, Walterscheid has received countless honors and awards throughout her academic career along with collaborating on several research initiatives and publication submissions.
