Student Profiles: Eli Mondragon

[PICTURE COMING SOON]
There's more than meets the eye, and Eli is a living testament to that. Eli is one of those ambitious young minds who will change the world -- but you wouldn't be able to see that with one glance. This native Texan is a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering. While many of his peers are out partying or getting a tan on the South Lawns, Eli is working in a soft tissues lab. How revolutionary is that!
