\"\"<\/h4>\n

David Weinstein \u201990<\/h2>\n

Consultant, Weinstein Rare Disease and Clinical Development Consulting<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen David\u2019s interest in medical school led them to a biology lab in the Albert C. Jacobs Life Sciences Center, he learned that undergraduate students were engaged in research with their professor. He knew it was highly unusual for undergraduates to have such an opportunity, and he was keen to join them.\u201d Read more about Weinstein.<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"\"Christian Sidor \u201994<\/h2>\n

Professor of biology, University of Washington; curator of vertebrate paleontology and associate director of research and collections, UW Burke Museum<\/p>\n

\u201cThe single biggest thing that Trinity did was provide the opportunity to do research that led to a peer-reviewed publication while I was still an undergraduate.\u201d Read more about Sidor<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"Lindsey Marshall, D.M.D., \u201993<\/h2>\n

\n

\"\"Katharine Brown \u201998<\/h2>\n

Donald W. Hight Endowed Chair in Pediatric Surgery and chief surgical quality officer at Connecticut Children\u2019s Medical Center; professor of surgery and pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the most valuable aspect of my Trinity education that continues to serve me well is the liberal arts foundation that taught me to think critically and to write clearly. I tell anyone who will listen that my parents are still getting value from their investment in my Trinity education because I continue to utilize these skills in my daily work.\u201c Read more about Campbell<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u201cTrinity provided a great, multidisciplinary foundation. I built on that initial training in graduate school and through the mentorship of others in the real world, particularly Drs.

\"\"Melissa Everett \u201975<\/h2>\n

Executive director, Sustainable Hudson Valley<\/p>\n

I chose Trinity for the flexibility. I was able to take some of everything, from neurophysiology to dance. When you are leading an organization that is pretty much creating its road map while navigating, you need a huge tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty, as well as an ability to create mental models that are useful and compelling to others.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
