“As a former associate professor of neurology and cell biology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, I’m especially proud of this new and innovative fund raising initiative. At the medical school I sat on the Admissions Committee and reviewed virtually hundreds of candidate applications. Many of the qualities I looked for in those young medical students are the same ones we see in this unique, driven group of high school students who set out to do big things and make a difference. Of course I looked for academic excellence; but I also looked for a clearly demonstrated ability to thoughtfully commit to, execute and successfully finish projects. Today, as the president and CEO of LLS, I interview many job applicants and find myself looking for that same “get it done” attribute. Caleb will bring precisely this to his future endeavors.”
