Pre-Health Programs Core Studies '21-expected

"It has been really inspiring to see the extent to which fellow students are stepping up, taking on leadership roles, and trying to help one another during this very strange time. We have had to navigate COVID and set new expectations for what this next year will look like. The past six months have really exemplified how much the people in this program care about fostering and maintaining a community, which I think is amazing."
