- He/ Him
Connor is most proud of co-founding his high school association for children with autism, which allowed him to connect with his community and make a tangible impact at Lighthouse Autism Centers.
Fiercely committed to helping people, Connor traces this interest back to volunteering at a food bank. This experience ignited his dedication to making a career out of keeping others healthy as a pre-medical student. Further inspired by his family, both blood-related and chosen, Connor strives for success to support those who believe in him.
His favorite quote, “We have to be greater than what we suffer,” from The Amazing Spiderman’s Gwen Stacy, emphasizes overcoming adversity and being a force for good. The best advice he received, to cherish what you have when you have it, guides him to appreciate his life and relationships.
Connor’s happy place is with his dogs, and he believes in the calming effect of their company. He values capitalizing on one’s potential, believing everyone should strive to be the best version of themselves for a brighter world. Connor will hold the Amir & Amy Malik Scholarship and the Al & Lynn Reichle Scholarship.
