Be prepared to be inspired and awed by the accomplishments of a young man from the South who consistently experienced prejudice. A man whose thwarted goals included being a doctor and a professional quarterback turned his talents to creating a safe haven for pre-medical students and doctoral students in a college in one of New York City’s poorest neighborhoods.
In a unique tale of creating a supportive yet competitive environment, Dr. Jerry Guyden reveals how he nurtured his students. With a door that was always open, Dr. Guyden served as an example of compassion, acceptance, inspiration, and motivation for his multicultural students. Skin color and national origin were immaterial. Talent, hard work, and a sense of humor carried these students through challenging science coursework as they learned to be part of a community that embraced diversity.
This book is full of lessons of quietly assisting students to find their pathway, of fighting for funding, and responding to betrayal.
You’ll learn how the Dr. Guyden and his students contributed to the advancement of knowledge of immunology, gained the respect of others in the field, and consistently developed the students’ presentation skills.
In a touching tribute, the book includes letters written by his students praising the accomplishments of Dr. Guyden, giving the reader a profound sense of the far-reaching impact of the person behind the title.
By the end of the book, you’ll wish you had studied under Dr. Guyden. His story will touch your heart and make you appreciate the impact of an embracing community.
