NEUR Majors Shine on the National Stage with Moksha Dance Team
The neuroscience community proudly recognizes Amrutha Alibilli, Smrti Arava, Krisha Pandya, and Malavika Kattuparambil for their exceptional achievement as members of the Moksha Indian Classical Dance Team.
Competing at the Origins National Intercollegiate Championship, Moksha secured an impressive second-place finish among more than 50 distinguished university teams, including Cornell University, Rutgers University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, San Diego, Rice University, and the University of Texas at Dallas. This national competition represents one of the most prominent stages for collegiate Indian classical dance in the country.
Their accomplishment highlights the interdisciplinary excellence of NEUR majors, demonstrating a commitment not only to rigorous scientific study but also to cultural expression, teamwork, and artistic mastery.
We commend these students for representing the University of Maryland with distinction and for embodying the breadth of talent within the neuroscience program.

Updates to Core Competencies for Med/Dent Students: Pre-Health Advising
Hi Terps! The AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) has updated their Core Competencies. These are soft skills that medical schools expect you to show evidence of by the time you apply (dental, PA, and other health professions programs also highly value and look for these competencies).
Please note the changes: they have removed "Cultural Awareness" and "Cultural Humility" and added "Self-Awareness" and "Understanding Others."
You can read the full descriptions on the AAMC website; we have also updated the Pre-Med/Pre-Dent Tracker and Applicant Workbook to reflect the changes.
