Congratulations to the winner of the first cycle of our Premedical Education Scholarship, Whitney Stanton from the University of Colorado, Boulder! There will be a second cycle of the Premedical Education Scholarship December 15, 2017 - January 31, 2018.
Also, please fill out the travel grant by December 22, 2017 so that we are able to assist you with the cost of travel and lodging. 

AMWA Binghamton participated in the Broome County CHOW® Hunger Walk, inspired by AMWA's theme of prevention of childhood obesity. In honor of the healthy diet initiative, they are also holding a fundraiser with Core Life (a local healthy restaurant), in which the proceeds will go to CHOW®. For every dollar donated to the CHOW® Hunger Walk, CHOW® can purchase $7 worth of food or provide four additional meals.

 

Lauren is our newly promoted co-president for the Pre-Medical Division. She currently is a junior at the University of Florida, majoring in Biomedical Sciences. She hopes to become a physician while continuing to provide a voice for children and women in medicine. Lauren joined AMWA in her senior year of high school, as Dr. Haffizulla (past AMWA president) was her mentor. "Mentorship drew me to AMWA, but the lifelong bonds I have formed with fellow AMWA members all across the country has solidified my involvement."  In her free time, she enjoys traveling and spending time with family.

When asked for advice she would give to younger women, she replied "Get involved and start connecting with others! It's never too early to get involved with AMWA, and you will meet so many amazing people."

If she were to meet any iconic woman in history, it would be: "Elizabeth Blackwell because she was the first woman to receive a medical degree in America, paving the way for future female physicians."

Lauren is a vital part of our team and we are so happy to have her!
