The Future Now, beginning our 13th year, the program
is clearly on target for the accomplishment of its goal: That
bright but disadvantaged students are limited not by their environment
but are assured of progressing to a level determined only by
their own considerable talents to the end that they will be competitive
for entry into four year colleges with scholarship aid.
A full 4 year scholarship enabled Glenn A. Langer, then a product of a
lower income neighborhood in Pearl River, New York to attend Colgate University.
Subsequently was the recipient of additional scholarship aid which financed
his advancement through 11 years of medical school and subsequent post-doctoral
training. Dr. Langer went onto become an assistant professor of medicine
at Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons. He subsequently
was recruited by UCLA Medical School, where he served as professor of medicine
and physiology from 1969-97 and director of the UCLA Cardiovascular Research
Laboratory from 1986-97.
