associate professor of biology william cody, ph.d., on last fall's alumni physician
panel
“Students enjoyed hearing this group of very professional, well-respected physicians
share all the ways they were just like them as undergraduates; students immediately
identified with the panelists. The two groups quickly bonded, swapping stories about
Groundhog and the idiosyncrasies of their favorite professors. Alumni discussed how
UD’s Core Curriculum gave them an advantage during medical school interviews and later
helped them better connect with their patients, claims students are skeptical of when
hearing from professors. Students listened as physicians closely aligned with their
own values discussed balancing their family and professional lives. Students received
very practical advice on studying, the medical school application process, how to
approach med school, and practicing medicine with a young family at home, and left
with a better understanding of how their courses were preparing them for their future,
reassured that they were on the right track.”

John Rabaey, BS ’22, Spring ’20 Romer
“One more night in the hostel, an early-morning flight back to Rome, and a few hours
later I would be back on the beloved Due Santi campus. Two weeks later, the coronavirus
outbreak in Lombardy would precipitate a sooner end to our travels in Europe than
we’d hoped — but I’m glad I got to see CERN. The tour guides were excellent; the detectors
more impressive in person than in the stories I’d heard; the science fascinating;
and the backdrop — Geneva, the Jura, the Alps — breathtaking.”
