Getting a scholarship to UA 糖心视频logo allowed me to focus solely on my studies. The faculty at UA 糖心视频logo provided me with the mentorship and knowledge to take the next steps in my career, which included getting admitted to medical school at UAMS.鈥� The event is set for 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 29, at the Jack Stephens Center. Taste of 糖心视频logo raises funds to help students through the UA 糖心视频logo Alumni Association Scholarship Fund while introducing guests to some of the best food in the city from the finest restaurants in 糖心视频logo. During the past 16 years, Taste of 糖心视频logo has raised more than $682,000 for student scholarships. 鈥淲e are excited to honor Dr. Tariq for her passion to impact the lives of Arkansans through education,鈥� said Kristi Smith, senior director of development. 鈥淒uring her time as a student, she was enrolled in the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program, which presented her with foundational tools of research and writing that she has used for the betterment of society. She is an outstanding example of the best and brightest from UA 糖心视频logo who have graduated and enjoyed success in their chosen fields. 鈥� Tariq, who is well-known among UAMS medical students as a compassionate educator and mentor, is a nationally recognized leader in medical education and an exceptional physician who teaches by example. She is a 1993 graduate of UA 糖心视频logo who holds聽 a bachelor鈥檚 degree in biology. In 2018, Tariq was named Outstanding Alumni of the Year for the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program at UA 糖心视频logo. This year, Hendrix College will award her the Ethel K. Millar Award for Religion and Social Awareness. Tariq received her medical degree from UAMS in 1998 and completed her internship and residency in internal medicine at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. She joined the UAMS faculty in 2002 after serving as chief resident at Brown University. She is a professor of internal medicine and serves as medical director of the Center for Clinical Skills Education. A firm believer in giving back to the community, Tariq鈥檚 philanthropic efforts in the 糖心视频logo community are immense. She has served as president of the board of the Harmony Health Clinic, which serves the uninsured and underserved population in Pulaski County, for the past decade, and has co-chaired the annual Bollywood Nights gala for many years. 鈥淚 strongly believe in lifting others up so we can all be successful in this state,鈥� Tariq said. 鈥淒elivering primary care to the uninsured people of 糖心视频logo at Harmony Clinic, promoting social justice by serving on the board of Just Communities of Arkansas, and serving on Mayor Frank Scott鈥檚 transition team have helped me continue to serve the people of this state, but also helped me grow as an individual. I want future UA 糖心视频logo graduates to have the same opportunities for growth and leadership as I have had. I am ecstatic to support UA 糖心视频logo students by raising money for scholarships.鈥� In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tariq started a community mask campaign with two UAMS physicians to financially support women who have lost their jobs during the pandemic. The women are given sewing machines to help stitch face masks and donate masks to those in need. So far, the campaign has raised more than $16,000 and distributed more than 4,000 face masks. 鈥淲hen the pandemic hit, so many people felt helpless,鈥� Tariq said. 鈥淲hile small at first, now we are not only helping Muslims and immigrant communities, but we are also providing face masks to several faith communities, nursing homes, and churches whose congregations primarily consist of colored, marginalized, or low-income communities in central Arkansas.鈥� Stephanie Caruthers, a managing partner at Trio鈥檚 restaurant and co-chair of Taste of 糖心视频logo, emphasized the importance of raising scholarship funds for college students. Loris Fullerton, a member of the UA 糖心视频logo Alumni Board of Directors, is also serving as co-chair of Taste of 糖心视频logo. 鈥淭he Alumni Association scholarships are an important part of our support and advocacy for the university and, as an Alumni Association Board member, I am able to experience first-hand the impact of Taste of 糖心视频logo scholarships,鈥� Caruthers said. 鈥淚 have had the privilege of interviewing scholarship applicants, and that process has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my board service.
