Takoma Academy Scholars Attend MITHS Program at Loma Linda
Story by Shaun Robinson
During the summer, Takoma Academy juniors Mia Daniels, Lauryn Gandy and Tyler Brame participated in the Minority Introduction to the Health Sciences Program (MITHS) at Loma Linda University (Calif.), a summer program designed to introduce Black Seventh-day Adventist high school students to careers in the health sciences.
“I would whole-heartedly recommend this program to other high school juniors,” says Gandy. “Even if you’re not planning to pursue a career in the medical field, the experience offers a valuable preview of what college life is truly like.”
While at MITHS, Brame received recognition in Math, Presenting, and Reading and Effective Learning. Reflecting on her time there, Brame says, “I learned that asking questions and prioritizing learning is the foundation for success.”
Daniels credits the MITHS program for the “discipline required to be successful and the positive affirmations” from the professors she met. Takoma Academy would like to congratulate its three Tigers for successfully completing MITHS 2025.
