Congrats to senior Alana Chandler and junior Kaviya Senthilkuma. They both earned accolades for their research presentations at the School of Medicine Summer Scholars program hosted by the Saint Louis University Office of Ignatian Mission in Medicine. The program provided students with the opportunity to meet with health care professionals, tour the campus, complete a community service project and more. Chandler and her group earned second place for their project on psychotherapy and pharmacology treatment for depression management, and Senthilkumar’s group won third place for their project on A.I. versus human physicians in diagnosis.

Students received an exciting visit from Joseph Harris, an alum of the school and current sophomore and student athlete at Princeton University. A first-generation college student, Harris is using his experience to inspire kids in St. Louis. “I don’t think I would be at Princeton if it weren’t for SLLIS because of all the opportunities I received there,” Harris said. “It wasn’t always easy, but having to do difficult coursework and the rigorous task of learning another language molded my skills and leadership abilities both in the classroom and on the football field.”
