Former Dartmouth Basketball Star Liz Walter... |
|
|
|
From the book "Silver Era, Golden Moments"
Liz Walter '89 was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 1985-86, then captained her team to a pair of League championships in her sophomre and junior seasons. Yet, after three years of spectacular basketball, Walter quit the team her senior year to join a program to prepare for graduate study in biology, beginning with travels through Costa Rica and Jamaica visiting a rain forest and seeing experimental projects in tropical agriculture, aquaculture and forestry. Walter says many failed to understand her decision, yet she credits her experiences with basketball, ironically, with preparing her for leaving the sport. "It taught me," she said in 1989 on her way to the jungle, "that challenges are the best teachers. My stint in the tropics, I hope, will help get me ready for the biggest away game of them all: life after graduation."
Walter attended medical school after Dartmouth and is now a resident in psychiatry at Yale-New Haven hospital.
