“Sean Liu of Grace Hopper College was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year and graduates summa cum laude, with distinction in both his majors: Neuroscience and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. His distinction extends across his entire academic record: over eight terms, he earned 48.5 course credits — every one of them an A — consistently exceeding Yale’s standard course load. Sean’s academic interests span neuroscience, clinical research, and health systems. He has conducted research across multiple laboratories at Yale, including the Jane Taylor Lab, the Jacob Muysser Lab, and the Division of Surgical Oncology. His work has culminated in research presentations on healthcare systems for First‑Episode Psychosis and a publication in the Annals of Surgical Oncology. He has complemented this work with extensive clinical engagement, serving as a Community Mental Health Fellow, a Longitudinal Care Director and Patient Navigator at HAVEN Free Clinic, and an Emergency Patient Aide Volunteer at Yale‑New Haven Hospital. Beyond the sciences, Sean has contributed to Yale’s artistic and athletic communities as Managing Director of the Yale College Opera Theatre, President and cellist of the Yale Undergraduate Chamber Orchestra, and a member of the Yale Club Archery Team. Next year, Sean will attend the NYU Grossman School of Medicine as a Vilcek Scholar. For his exceptional scholarship and future promise in his field, Yale College proudly awards the Russell Henry Chittenden Prize to Sean Liu.”
Congratulations Sean!
