Class of 2026: Celebrating Our Exceptional Graduates

The Class of 2026's accomplishments are remarkable, featuring the co-founders of two grassroots humanitarian organizations — one that has raised approximately $20,000 to build water boreholes serving a community in Mali, and another that raised over $60,000 to expand food access and medical care in Sudan. Our graduates include a Gilman Scholarship recipient, a QuestBridge Scholar, a West African Centre for Counter-Extremism fellow, and the recipients of the CSHH Outstanding Leader, Scholar, Innovator, and Citizen awards. They are advancing to prestigious institutions, including UNC Chapel Hill's Master of Healthcare Administration program, UCSF, Emory's Rollins School of Public Health, and Emory's Master of Arts in Bioethics 4+1 program.

Their career trajectories showcase the breadth of human health — from a neuroscience clinical research coordinator at UCSF preparing for medical school, to a consultant joining McMaster-Carr in Los Angeles. We have graduates joining a startup connecting cancer patients to clinical trials, supporting team operations at a New York healthcare technology company, pursuing infectious disease modeling through the CIDMATH fellowship, and developing monitoring tools for Lymphatic Filariasis programs at the Task Force for Global Health. Their honors research spans racial differences in salivary biomarkers and Alzheimer's risk in underrepresented populations; compassion-centered training for healthcare chaplains; the role of musical ensemble participation in collegiate student flourishing; a shared-income commune approach to loneliness; and skeletal regeneration in a zebrafish model of a rare immune disorder.

We're honored by their achievements and inspired by their vision for transforming tomorrow's healthcare landscape. Meet some of our remarkable graduates below
