Andrew Kahn visits Medical Club

February 21, 2020 | Alumni News, Media

Anesthesiologist Andrew Kahn ’95 visited the Medical Club today to speak to students about college and applying for medical school. The boys were so lucky to hear from a successful alumnus who sat in their place at Cistercian just a few years ago with so many questions of his own!

The Medical Group is a new alumni initiative to link alumni to alumni and alumni to students. If you are in the medical field and interested in being a part of this growing group, please contact Erin Hart, our Director of Development and Alumni Relations.

After Mary’s hasty journey to her kinswoman, she, carrying Jesus in her womb-ark, receives an exuberant welcome from Elizabeth and John the Baptist. The unborn babies, Jesus and John, meet for the first time as their mothers embrace.
