The Honors Program is thrilled to share this feature highlighting the outstanding work of Khadijah Dhoondia, the most recent recipient of the Cyrena Pondrom Leadership Grant. Khadijah is in her final year at UW, pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree with majors in Biology (Honors) and Global Health, certificates in Biology Core Curriculum (Honors) and Science Communication, and Honors in the Liberal Arts. Her vision and leadership made it possible for a dedicated team of undergraduates to organize UW–Madison’s first interfaith bioethics conference—an inspiring milestone for campus collaboration and dialogue.
