Where Are They Now?
Although we are always a little sad when a student graduates from Georgetown, we are beyond thrilled that they have found such wonderful opportunities. Many of our students report that their experiences with Ethics/Bioethics Bowl helped put their applications over the edge. Their skills and knowledge in ethics, bioethics, philosophy, debate, and analytical thinking will prove useful for many of their new positions. Below is a listing of some of our "veteran" competitors:
Elizabeth Bakacs: NYU Medical School, Student Maggie Cleary: UVA Law School, Student Ijeoma Egekeze: Dept of Health & Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Intern Will Hambley: NYU Medical School, Student MJ Koo: Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, Intern Joelle Rebeiz: World Bank, Brand Marketing Assistant Christian Rice: Heritage Action, Intern Corrine Schmidt: Deloitte, Human Capital Consultant Michael Vu: Northwestern Medical School, Student; Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Laura Zhang: PolicyMic, Pundit |
