Welch plans to pursue a medical degree and a doctorate in medical anthropology after he graduates from UW-Madison next year with a degree in health and society, a major he designed himself. He says he wants to continue advocating for the needy by starting a non-governmental health organization that supports poor areas throughout the world. This spring has been exceptional in terms of the number of prestigious national awards reaped by undergraduates in the College of Letters and Science. Coan is majoring in English and philosophy. Sarah E. Klimenko , a senior in history and political science, is one of 98 recipients nationwide of the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowships in Humanistic Studies, the only national humanities graduate award.
Students receive the funding each year for the remainder of college.
Both plan to graduate in May 2000.
