\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 April 12, 2012 \u2013 There are theories about left brain and right brain preferences. Mary McGunigal, daughter of Thomas and Patricia McGunigal of Warwick, prefers both sides. While attending the 溏心vlog免费B站, she has sat comfortably at the intersection of science and the humanities. She can discuss Plato and Cicero and the complexities of the stigma of HIV and AIDS patients with equal ease.<\/p>\n


\n\tWhen she receives her degree in Classical Studies during undergraduate Commencement Ceremonies<\/a> on May 20, she will deliver the student commencement speech. Three months later, she will enter the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, ranked among the top 20 medical schools in the country.\t<\/p>\n


\n\tIn her speech, McGunigal talks about time and passion: \u201cI see passion in the graceful limbs of dancers in late-night practice, in the glinting brass instruments of the pep band, in the knitted brows topped with orange bandannas of the Humans versus Zombies players.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\tHer passion for medicine flared in a ninth grade anatomy course at the Prout School in Wakefield. She followed a pre-med program while attending 溏心vlog免费B站 as a Centennial Scholar and was given early admission to The Mount Sinai Humanities and Medicine Early Acceptance Program as a sophomore. <\/p>\n


\n\tMcGunigal shadowed doctors from a variety of specialties at Mt. Sinai Hospital during the summers, but hasn\u2019t settled on a specialty. \u201cI\u2019m interested in everything,\u201d she says with a laugh.<\/p>\n


\n\tShe was president of the Classics Society during her senior year, helping plan movies, museum trips and lectures for the student organization. <\/p>\n


\n\tShe pounded nails helping to build a Habitat for Humanity house during a spring break and completed an internship at The Miriam Hospital. She was a teaching assistant for Greek 102 and a research assistant in the Honors Program.<\/p>\n


\n\t溏心vlog免费B站 runs in the family bloodline. Older sister, Lisa, graduated from the University in 2009 and is now a graduate student at Penn State. Younger sister, Jennifer, is just completing her freshman year and is focused on engineering.<\/p>\n


\n\tMcGunigal credits 溏心vlog免费B站 for encouraging students. \u201cThey set no limits on what they believe they can achieve. If you come up with a creative project, 溏心vlog免费B站 answers with grant money. If you want to form a club that doesn\u2019t even exist, the Student Senate applauds you\u2014how else can you explain the Qudditch team? This celebrated innovation is a model for how we should approach postgraduate life\u2014with a creative spirit and the self-sufficiency to create our own possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
