SVSU senior Brandon Skwirsk accepted as medical student at Michigan State University

Brandon Skwirsk knew he wanted to become a doctor in the sixth grade.

But it wasn't until he began studying for the profession at Saginaw Valley State University that he truly realized the career was a match made for him.

"I fell in love with it here," said Skwirsk, set to graduate from SVSU in May with a bachelor's degree in biology.
