Biology grad has post-college plan
Julia Thorkildson will travel
this summer; then she plans
to attend Finch University
of Health and Sciences
Aimee Rudin
City/State Politics Reporter
At 3 p.m. Saturday, Julia Thorkild
son will graduate from the University
with honors. She will join 65 other
students from the Department of Bi
ology, part of the College of Arts &
Sciences, to walk in the EMU Ball
room, accept her diploma and leave
the University behind.
But, unlike many graduating sen
iors, Thorkildson has a plan for life
after college.
After a brief vacation with her
boyfriend to Europe, where she
plans to visit Italy, Greece and the
Swiss Alps for hang gliding, Thork
ildson will be enrolling in medical
school to continue on her path
toward her chosen career — med
ical doctor.
Thorkildson said she will most
likely be attending Finch Universi
ty of Health and Sciences in Chica
go and specializing in sports medi
cine. She said her interest in the
human body and its performance
was piqued after taking Professor
Rod Capaldi’s course on mitochon
dria and their function in human
cellular operations.
“It was a really well-taught class,”
Thorkildson said. “It was applicable
and made me want to learn more
about the human body.”
Her desire to pursue sports medi
cine was fueled by the completion
of her second major in exercise and
movement science at the Universi
ty, her love of physical activities
and the hands-on experience she
gained working as a student athlet
ic trainer.
Biology department Advising Co
ordinator Kathleen Keys has worked
alongside Thorkildson in the advis
ing department for the last two
years. Keys said Thorkildson was
one of the primary reasons the ad
vising program was so successful.
“Julia is awesome,” Keys said.
“She has helped train the other peer
advisers and is an inspiration to
many students.”
Last year, Thorkildson was award
ed Peer Advisor of the Year for the
entire University.
“She’s been working on the peer
advisory for about three years,” Keys
said. “She’s pretty amazing. She
takes a lot of initiative and does
things on her own.”
As a student in the Clark Honors
College, Thorkildson needed to
complete a undergraduate thesis in
order to graduate with honors.
She chose to focus her thesis on
her work with the University Insti
tute of Neuroscience research de
partment, one of the most de
manding research departments at
the University.
Faculty in the biology depart
ment said Thorkildson’s continued
efforts at the University and her in
credible work ethic made them op
timistic for her future success. But
Thorkildson said it takes more
than hard work to succeed.
“It’s important to have friends
around that support you,” she said.
“You have to be able to get away
from your work and have some fun.”

Loans
continued from page 9
education of their children.
Loan consolidation does have a
few downsides, according to the
Oregon Student Assistance
Commission. The extended period
over which students repay consol
idated loans increases total inter
est costs in the long run. Also, stu
dents who consolidate will have
fewer deferment options, and
undergraduates who consolidate
while still in school will lose their
grace period after graduation.
For more information about loan
consolidation, visit the OSAG Web
site at http://www.osac.state.or.us.
