After a 20-plus-year career in
the film and television industry,
Alexander Ellis returned to school
two and a half years ago by entering
a post-baccalaureate premedical
program with the intent of applying
to medical school. As much
as he enjoyed working in the film
industry, he had an interest in
medicine that extended back to
his days at Newark Academy. He
has spent the last few months
applying to medical school and
has thus far been accepted to a
number of schools. Starting this
summer, Alexander will enter
medical school and embark on
this new direction in his life. We
wish him well.
