Meet...Tom

Name: Tom Dozier.

School: College of Medicine and president of the Student Government Association for 2001 - 2002 school year.

Year: Second year.

Favorite TV program: ER. I know, it's pitiful.

Favorite sport: Lawn darts.

Favorite class/professor: Recess.

Favorite restaurant: The Boathouse at Breach Inlet.

Favorite movie: A Few Good Men.

Pet peeve: People who never say anything positive about anything.

Accomplishment you are most proud of: Quaternion Society at Furman University.

What is your agenda as the 2001- 2002 SGA president: To listen to the students and voice their concerns to whomever should hear them. I would really like to see the state lottery support scholarships even at this level of education, but I think I've got my work cut out for me on that one.

Plans for your future, after you graduate: To be a doctor; as to what type—a good one. Ask me again in a year and I might know the specialty by then.

Who is your inspiration, your hero: My father. I can only hope to emulate his unwavering integrity, honesty, and commitment to things larger than the individual.

Event you are looking forward to: June 12, the day after I take Step 1 of the Boards.

Dream vacation: Speedweek at Daytona.

Most treasured material possession:  It would be hard to value any material thing more than my friends and the life with which I've been blessed.

Something people don't know about you: I watched the Braves win the World Series in 1995 and hung out with them later that night.

Words of advice: Chill out and enjoy the means to whatever end you're seeking.
