Student Affairs Student Spotlight – Miguel Fuentes Garcia
Congratulations to Miguel Angel Fuentes Garcia for being selected as this month’s Student Affairs Student Spotlight due to his embodiment of the Golden Eagle values. Miguel, who is originally from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, is a Senior Mechanical Engineer major who hopes to become an engineer in the biomedical field. Miguel’s desire to work within this industry stems from his dream of helping “people heal faster than ever using vanguard technology while we create a personalized solution for each patient’s own needs.” This is evident through his current research, which is already being funded by URECA and CISE, into the strength of the Achilles tendons with the hope to develop a way to produce tissue for this cord instead of having it donated. He continues to make a difference as the president of Tennessee Tech’s SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers) chapter. This position allows him the opportunity to fulfill his goals in better preparing his peers for the work force and encouraging the advancement of Hispanic students in STEM. Miguel’s strong leadership can additionally be found at the Upper Cumberland Hispanic Heritage Festival where he was the Arts & Crafts Coordinator and he helped to organize the first SHPE Sub-Regional Retreat. It is Miguel’s bold fearless leadership style and passion for pursuing vital knowledge that make him such an excellent choice for the Student Affairs Student Spotlight.

What is ESTAR Sanos (To Be Healthy) Outreach Program?
ESTAR Sanos is a unique health resource available through Tech’s Whitson-Hester School of Nursing to regional rural and Hispanic communities. The program started in 2020 with an award from the Rebecca Tolbert Faculty Research Program at the university.
Professor Melissa Geist, other faculty members, and future nursing professionals, on the ESTAR team secured grants from external resources. The funding provides not only access, but also health education, support, training, awareness, and resources to underserved groups.
“A major motivator for the initiative was Covid vaccine hesitancy experienced by the rural and Hispanic communities,” offered Melissa Geist, Professor of Nursing and practicing Pediatric and Family Nurse Practitioner. “The opportunity to provide necessary services, give children/families positive experiences, and introduce nursing students to real-world practice is invaluable – to us all.”
