Three Sartans attended medical and technology summer conferences where they had the opportunity to meet university deans, a NASA astronaut, professors from MIT and Harvard, and Nobel Laureate doctors and engineers. Kelvin Agbemadzo, junior, and Marcos Cortez, sophomore, attended the Congress of Future Medical Leaders organized by the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists in Boston. Sean Goodyear, sophomore, attended the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders, organized by the National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists, also in Boston.
Each congress allowed them to meet other students from across the country over the 3 day conference. From 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., they were in group activities, speaker sessions, and delegate Q&As. A selection of this year’s speakers includes:
