This fall, a number of our biology and biochemistry graduates will be starting their education at institutions of higher learning across the country. Students beginning graduate work in biology include:- We have a large crop of graduates going onto medical school this year. Kristi Weaver (biology major from Wichita) will be attending the University of Health Sciences. Elda Perales (biology major from Salina), Kari Good (biology major from Salina), Casey Dreitz (biology and biochemistry major from Plains), and Emily Bauer (biochemistry major from ????), will be starting their first year at the University of Kansas' School of Medicine. Both Casey and Emily are part of KU's Scholars in Primary Care Program, which only accepts six students a year from the state of Kansas. Over the past 6 years of its existence, Southwestern has placed more students into this program than any other Kansas school other than KU or KSU.
