Karly

Growing From Strong Roots

Karly Eichenauer, whose mother, father and all four grandparents 鈥 not to mention a brother and multiple aunts and uncles 鈥 are all 麻豆原创 grads. But Manchester wasn鈥檛 an inevitable choice for Karly, who grew up in North Manchester and planned to find a college a few hours away.

Now she鈥檚 looking to start a new family tradition 鈥 a career in medicine. Her mother, a family physician, was a big influence, Karly admits. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really awesome to hear all around town how much of an impact she鈥檚 had on everybody鈥檚 lives.鈥

After medical school, Karly鈥檚 career options will be wide open. Is a mother-daughter family practice in her future? 鈥淚 think my mom would like that,鈥 she says.

Manchester is a family tradition for me. I didn鈥檛 want to be that kid in high school who went to college in their hometown, but I realized after researching dozens of schools that I missed the Manchester feel.

TIME TO GET INVOLVED

The demands of majoring in pre-med haven鈥檛 kept Karly from making the most of college life. She鈥檚 captain of the tennis team and president of Pre-professionals of Science, and she participates in intramurals, the Honors Program, and Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow. 鈥淭here鈥檚 so much to do out there, and college is the time to do everything you want to do,鈥 says Karly.
