Sherwin Newton
UNSC Student Mentor
Sherwin is a senior University Scholar from Bloomington, Illinois concentration in Medical Humanities & Great Texts. After Baylor, he plans to attend medical school. On campus, Sherwin is involved in the Pre-Health Honors Society, AED, serves on the Student Health Advisory Council, and is a part of the Club Tennis team.
Sherwin's favorite reading list book was the Illiad. His thesis topic is the public perception of 19th-century surgical practices in England. He is working with faculty mentors Dr. Erika Abel and Dr. Eric Martin.
To new students, Sherwin says: "Relax and enjoy the beginning of college. You have a lot of freedom as a University Scholar, but don't be intimidated by others who might be studying 4+ things. Find what you enjoy, and use this program to customize your curriculum."
