August is back-to-school time and Baylor College of Medicine is no exception to this. We welcome our newest students in the medical school, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the School of Allied Health Sciences.
Student Corner: Schweitzer Fellows Four Baylor students have been named 2014-15 Houston-Galveston Schweitzer Fellows and will spend the next year on projects aimed at improving community health and developing their leadership skills.
Each month, Student Corner highlights the accomplishments of Baylor’s medical, graduate and allied health students. This month, however, Student Corner is dedicated to a Baylor faculty member who perhaps has had a greater impact on students than any other – Dr. Frank Kretzer.
Second-year medical student Bryan Whitlow received a grant from the Texas Medical Association to support the Medical Miles Mentor Program that pairs Baylor student-volunteers with HISD middle schoolers to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Graduate student Hengyu (Henry) Lu, a graduate student in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine and trainee in the NCI-designated Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center at Baylor, has received one of five nationally competitive Research Scholar Award grants from the Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation.
