They mentor staff and students, analyze practice, ease the agony of cancer, and welcome refugees to a new country. They juggle their professional, community, and family obligations, and still find time to pursue higher learning. Some have been at it for years; others are just beginning.
What do they have in common? Their passion shines through. And what else? They are all 2013 APEX Award winners!
