First-Year Liaison

Meet Thomas Van Etten, serving as one of this year’s First-Year Liaisons with DukeLIFE. Thomas is a freshman from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, pursuing a degree in Biology with a concentration in Biochemistry, with a possibility of a minor in Psychology. Outside of DukeLIFE, Thomas is involved with DUU as a FIP and is involved in Gente Aprendiendo Para Nuevas Oportunidades (GANO), in which he helps tutor ESL. Thomas is currently between three different career paths at the moment, pediatric nursing, dermatology, or medical pharmacology research. While Thomas isn’t 100% sure what career path he wants to follow, he is super excited to serve as one of the First-Year Liaisons, and hopes to have a great year with everyone!
