Conde Shares His DACA Story
On September 11, first-year medical student Juan Conde, Ph.D., spoke to Congressman Peter Welch, President Sullivan, medical students, faculty and staff of the Larner College of Medicine and members of the press about his experience as a DACA recipient. Conde says his mother told him that in "in America, it did not matter who you were born as, what mattered was that with hard work, dedication, and grit, you could accomplish anything that you dreamt of." Conde’s dream, born when his mother died from cancer in 2007, was to dedicate his life to researching and caring for those afflicted by the disease.
