Biology Faculty Prize Winners

HEIDI MUELLER ’19 and ALAN CUEVAS VILLAGOMEZ ’19

HEIDI was a biology major and psychology minor pursing the pre-med track, graduating summa cum laude and being inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. On campus, she worked for the Athletic Training Department and was a member of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. During her time at Allegheny, she was also involved with the Orchesis Dance Company, volunteered at Meadville Medical Center, and was a chemistry teaching assistant. In the fall, Heidi will be attending Medical School at the University of Buffalo.

ALAN is a first generation, minority student born in California, raised in Mexico and residing in Florida. He specifically chose Allegheny College because of its strong pre-health program and liberal arts education. Allegheny helped him gauge his interest and provided him with the resources to pursue internships and shadowing opportunities that helped make the decision to practice medicine as a physician. Activities Alan was involved with include Delta Tau Delta fraternity and the first vice president of the Minority Association of Pre medical Students (MAPS) established this past year. His future plans include enrolling in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine this fall as an MD candidate.

CONGRATULATIONS to you both!
