About
My name is Cetta Panza and I am an upcoming Sophomore at Allegheny College. I am a member of the Pre-Heath Club and Service Saturdays at my institution. I also am a member of the Varsity volleyball team, and I became the first member to wear hearing aids. I overcame many heath issues during my Freshman year of college, as I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematous during my first semester. This affected my academics significantly because I had to miss more than a month of classes. However, I rebounded the second semester to achieve a 4.0 GPA. I now have a 3.547 GPA, and I am working to maintain this for the rest of my undergraduate studies.

Patel College of Allopathic Medicine.
