The Advance-K Scholars were honored at a mixer held on November 19th at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. After remarks by program leaders Audra Van Wart and Ulrike Mende, scholars had the opportunity to meet one another and socialize with past awardees/scholars and supporting faculty and staff. Dean of the Alpert Medical School, Mukesh Jain, was on hand to give a warm welcome.
We can't wait to support, and follow along with, their journey. Learn more about the Advance-K Scholar Career Development Program on our website.
