Wannemuehler to graduate summa cum laude
 Todd J. Wannemuehler holds the Ralph and Harriet Carlson Baccalaureate/Doctor of Medicine (B/MD) scholarship along with a Lilly Scholarship. He will graduate summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. He plans to study medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine.Wannemuehler is a member of Sigma Zeta honor society and the Biology Club. After developing a proficiency in lab, he worked in the microbiology lab coordinating other student lab workers, which requires commitment and self-motivation. He served on the orientation staff for new freshmen. He also has served on the ministry team as lector and Eucharistic minister at Corpus Christi Parish. He has been on the honors list every semester and earned the Leadership Award from the USI Alumni Association. Part of college for Wannemuehler included a summer session at Harlaxton College in Grantham, England, where he studied biology and toured Rome, Paris, Dublin, and London. He reflected on his work at USI. “I am filled with fond memories of friendships forged in the freshman residence halls, of trips to religious conferences and retreats, of scholarship trips to Chicago and Nashville, of the stress and fun of organizing student orientations as an AMIGO, of traveling the streets of London during my Harlaxton trip, and of late nights studying with friends for exceedingly difficult science exams.” Next summer, between first and second years of medical school, Wannemuehler will participate in an eight-week internship program at Deaconess Hospital shadowing physicians. He is a graduate of Mater Dei High School in Evansville and the son of Dennis and Donna Hodges and Gene and Evelyn Wannemuehler. |
