Student Profiles

“I’m an alum of Calder Classics and now a senior at Harvard College studying Developmental and Regenerative Biology and Classics and pursuing medicine after graduation. My journey towards medicine was and continues to be indelibly shaped by my study of Classics, which began with my Calder Classics program almost six years ago…” M.M., Harvard
