For seniors Janae Schwan ’27 and Anthony Stainer ’27, soccer has been part of their lives since childhood. At Dominican, it’s become a source of friendship, community and opportunity. Janae is a kinesiology major preparing for a career in physical therapy. Anthony is studying finance and sports management while making his mark in the Penguins’ midfield. Here's to a great season on a newly re-turfed Kennelly field. https://bit.ly/3U2TcH8

Janae Schwan ’27 started kicking a soccer ball as soon as she could walk.

What a journey for Azan Yousaf ’25. A San Marin High School graduate, Dominican alum, and newly minted Dartmouth MHA, Azan is taking his passion for healthcare, science, and social justice into his new role as an executive director-in-training with a health system in Washington. Dominican's service-learning program opened Azan's eyes to healthcare inequities in his own community and helped shape his goal of becoming a healthcare leader focused on equitable access. At Dartmouth, he deepened that perspective, studying healthcare finance, operations and strategy alongside doctors, hospital executives and other healthcare professionals. https://bit.ly/3UnKjbc
