Milap Mistry
Treasurer
Email: mvm6804@psu.edu
Major(s): Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Hometown: Mechanicsburg, PA
​
Milap is a rising junior transferring to University Park to complete the BMB Major and Chemistry Minor. As an aspiring physician, he joined Global Medical Brigades to combine his passions for medicine and traveling. In retrospect, going on the brigade with the medical chapter to Honduras was one of the most rewarding experiences of his life. Milap embarked upon the brigade knowing merely one person and came home with a second family. He can confidently and proudly sum up the entire experience as a refreshing dose of humanity and compassion.
