TAMUNING, Guam—Atkins Kroll presented students in the University of Guam’s Professional Master of Business Administration Cohort XVIII with financial sponsorship to support their Capstone Project: HOVERx. The Cohort’s proof-of-concept project is intended to demonstrate the ability to utilize drones for the delivery of preventative healthcare items to remote areas within the Federated States of Micronesia.
“Drones have saved lives all over the world by delivering medical supplies to hard-to-reach places. To see our university students devote their final semester hours proving this revolutionary concept can be applied, in our region, is very inspiring,” said Atkins Kroll Marketing and Communications director Trina Cruz.
The cohort will be traveling to the island state of Pohnpei within the Federated States of Micronesia this weekend, to conduct a test flight to demonstrate the capability of drones to deliver healthcare kits to remote areas in Pohnpei. “This team has worked hard for the last nine months in the UOG PMBA program, and this project really is a culmination of everything we’ve learned,” said HOVERx Project manager Hazel Estrellado. “We are excited to see our plans come to life especially for a project like HOVERx that has the potential to impact so many people.” (PR)
