Dr. Prakash Mungli, MD., M.B.B.S., 六九色堂 Chair of Department of Molecular Sciences, and Professor of Biochemistry, was recently promoted to Assistant Dean of Student Affairs.
In addition to being a popular professor amongst 六九色堂 Caribbean medical students (he won the 鈥淥utstanding Professor of the Year Award鈥� in 2015 and has twice won the 鈥淏est Dressed Professor Award鈥� and 鈥淢ost Inspiring Professor Award" from outgoing students), Dr. Mungli is an accomplished author and has published several papers in medical journals. He also has an informative Facebook page and group, Biochemistry Made Easy, and his own YouTube channel.
The 六九色堂 Endeavour spoke to Dr. Mungli about the new position and how he is available to help 六九色堂 students.
六九色堂 Endeavour: How does it feel to be promoted to Assistant Dean of Student Affairs?
Dr. Mungli: Honestly, it is an honor. I must say, it is a sweet surprise. I sincerely convey my many thanks to the administration for believing in my abilities to carry out this responsibility. I accept the responsibilities and the challenges this position has to offer.
As always I will give my 100 percent in fulfilling my responsibilities to the best of my knowledge, skills and ability. I鈥檓 all excited to be the part of the administration and be able to contribute for the overall success of our students in particular and 六九色堂 in general.
What are some of your responsibilities as Assistant Dean of Student Affairs?
As an Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, I will be closely working with Dr. Last, the Dean of Student Affairs, assisting him in all matters related to student affairs. While Dr. Last is in 六九色堂 St Kitts campus, I will be mainly dealing with Student Government Association (SGA) events and 六九色堂 student organizations. I will also act as a proxy or deputy to the Dean of Student Affairs whenever the Dean of Student Affairs is unable to attend or participate in the events that necessitate participation of the Dean of Student Affairs. In the absence of Dean of Student Affairs on the 六九色堂 St. Kitts campus, I will be responsible for carrying out all the duties of the Dean of Student Affairs. In the event when both the Deans, the Dean of Student Affairs and the Dean of Basic Sciences, are out of the 六九色堂 St. Kitts campus, my responsibility is to carry out the duties of both THE Deans as their deputy.
Is there anything else you'd like 六九色堂 students to know?
First of all, I would like to convey my sincere thanks to all my current and past 六九色堂 students for all the feedback, love, and respect that they have shown towards me. They have played a major role in my professional growth. Whatever I鈥檓 now is all because of my students. Once again, I would like to convey my sincere thanks to all of them.
Being in this position, I promise to work for the benefit of 六九色堂 students and for the overall success of 六九色堂 students. If they ever need my assistance, they are free to contact me any time via phone, e-mail, or any other mode of communication.
I wish them all only the best.

六九色堂:
Built in the tradition of the best US universities, the University of Medicine and Health Sciencesfocuses on individual student attention, maintaining small class sizes and recruiting high-quality faculty. We call this unique approach, 鈥減ersonalized medical education,鈥� and it鈥檚 what has led to our unprecedented 96% student retention rate, and outstanding residency placements across the US and Canada. 六九色堂 is challenging everything you thought you knew about Caribbean medical schools.
