The Ivy League Ideal

Meant to post this earlier today but forgot. Check out this ESPNU story on Dartmouth women's basketball player Koren Schram. The piece notes that the All-Ivy player with a deadly 3-point shot and tremendously quick hands ...

... spent the summer as an intern for Dr. James Bussel, a world-renowned expert in pediatric hematology and oncology, at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Schram's work focused on clinical trials related to neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, a condition that affects the platelet count in newborns and can lead to potentially fatal hemorrhaging in some instances.

Kudos to Dara Ely in the Dartmouth sports information office for helping this story get out and to Koren Schram, who epitomizes the Ivy League idea.
