I Am an Inspiration
M
aggie Cupit ’14 is an excellent student, campus leader and future doctor. Above all else, she’s an inspiration. After her first year at Rhodes, Maggie was scheduled to begin a fellowship at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital when she was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Rather than spending her first days as a member of one of the hospital’s research teams, she ended up being one of the hospital’s patients.
More than two years later, Maggie is cancer free, and the Chemistry major and future pediatric oncologist is back at work in the research labs of St. Jude, studying new ways to treat childhood cancer with umbilical cord blood transplants.

In addition to her St. Jude fellowship, Maggie, also works with ALSAC, the fundraising arm of St. Jude, to share her story in the media and at various events across the country. On campus, she has served as a Student Associate in the President’s Office, participates in religious life, is active in her sorority, competes for the Mock Trial team and is a member of the Social Regulations Council.
