Class of 2019 First-Year Fellow: Kevin Griffee

Kevin Griffee ’19 comes from Ojai, California and graduated from The Thacher School and plans to pursue a major in Neuroscience with a minor in Chinese at Dartmouth.

As a First-Year Fellow, he interned at the Center for Perinatal Advocacy at Providence Hospital with mentor Gabriela Garcia ’01.

“Since I am leaning toward a career in medicine,” says Kevin, “it was incredibly valuable to work in a hospital setting.” He spent a large part of his time at Providence supporting the Safe Sleep initiative, which aims to reduce the incidence of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death).

On campus, Kevin works as a research assistant at the Reading Brains Lab and volunteers with the “The Recollections,” a singing group for people with memory disorders. He is also involved in the Dartmouth Endurance Racing Team, Dartmouth Outing Club, and Dartmouth College Gospel Choir. 

After graduation, Kevin plans to attend medical school and pursue a career in global health.
