We’re five days away from graduation. As our students reflect on their time at Baylor College of Medicine, this Throwback Thursday we take a look back at the graduates who came before the class of 2014.

Flash forward more than two decades, as the graduates of 1979  smile for the camera before and after they moved their tassels.
