𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Senior Cooper Schwartz ’25, playing in honor of longtime doubles partner & best friend Braun Levi ’25, paired with freshman Kiran Spurling ’28 to win 7-5, 7-6(5), 6-4. The best part? Schwartz used Levi’s racket for match point. #LoyolaTennis | #LLB🕊️

Incredible privilege to learn from venerable Dr Ashley D’Cruz - sharing rare encounters from a nearly 40 year career as a pediatric surgeon in Bangalore. Special moment as he was introduced by his son (and my senior fellow) Roshan D’Cruz. @VUMCchildren @BoLovvorn @PedsTraumaMan

“We know disasters, pandemics, tornadoes, hurricanes, you name it are going to happen. So the reality is we’re going to have to have some hard conversations because we can’t 'what if' ourselves to death by not having an approach."—@PedsTraumaMan news.vumc.org/2024/10/03/jef…
