Sadie LaPonsie
Graduation: 2008
Major: Biology
Sadie LaPonsie was interested in biology in high school, but a semester spent working in a hospital in India showed her where she wanted to specialize.
“My experiences at the hospital comforting patients with incurable forms of cancer solidified my desire to practice medicine,” the 2008 graduate says. “I would recommend to every college student that they find a way to study abroad.”
