Last week the @aamc.org did a terrific feature on older medical students with lengthy resumes. We have our own. This holiday, we're thankful for American second acts, plan B's, following passions, courses reversed, old dogs learning new tricks and roads less traveled.

Thank you Henry Hinton - Talk of the Town for inviting our own Executive Dean Jason Higginson on this Veterans Day week to talk about his service in the U.S. Navy and his retirement at the end of this month at the rank of Captain. We're pretty proud of him, his service and his leadership.
