Campus ChampionWhen Logan Knowles was 2, his doctor offered to provide him with a wheelchair. Knowles’ mother declined that for her son, who has cerebral palsy, and worked on his mobility instead. “My attitude changed from ‘Why me?’ to ‘Why not me?’” said Knowles, who graduated high school at 17 in Horseheads, N.Y., so he could compete in four Paralympic competitions in British Columbia including alpine downhill ski. A broken leg dashed those hopes, but the junior biomedical sciences major trains relentlessly for his next Paralympic games. An aspiring future physician, Knowles volunteers his story to motivate classmates and future educators.
