| A welcoming community
After graduating magna cum laude from R-MC with a double major in chemistry and biology, Elliot Asare '06 attended the College of Medicine at Howard University, where he was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha medical honors society. Now a general surgery resident, Dr. Asare says what he appreciated most about R-MC included the opportunity for research experience, the broad-based liberal arts education, the friendly community—and the supportive faculty. "They are available and approachable, and they are committed to the success of each student."
