Student Spotlight: Christian Castillo, MHA ’27
“Navigating the tension between hands-on patient care and bureaucratic hurdles made it clear to me that better operational systems and technology are needed to absorb administrative friction, allowing professionals to focus on high-stakes human needs.

The connections and opportunities presented to me have been nothing short of exceptional. If I had to choose all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate to make Rutgers my top choice.”
