• Video Transcript: Biology at Thomas College

“After earning my degree from Thomas College, I went on to complete a rigorous pre-med program at Johns Hopkins and now work serving low-income communities while preparing for medical school. The support I received at Thomas—from professors, teammates, and friends—was unmatched. While Thomas is a small college, the professors I had there were more supportive, empathetic, and talented than many I encountered at Johns Hopkins. The Thomas community should be incredibly proud of the exceptional educators it has.”
