College of Medicine Student of the Month – Levi Zehr, first-year student

Levi Zehr

Editor’s Note: Each month, InterCOM will highlight a “Student of the Month” from the College of Medicine. Students will be featured for their participation in activities outside of medical school and for making a difference in the community. The goal is to recognize students for what they are doing and to encourage other students to get involved in the community. After all, medical school should be much more than studying.

Staying Balanced:

  • Take trips back home to Beemer to see family.
