He currently works in the Honors Program as a Guide for Peer Success (GPS), a peer advisor for fellow Honors students to help them to navigate their college experience, as well as in the Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy (InCHIP) as a research assistant helping to research the influence of various social factors on people’s health behaviors. Luke is passionate about helping others through service and promoting health in a culturally sensitive manner. He’s involved in a variety of political and cultural organizations around campus and is on the founding organizing committee for UConn’s first student-run Global Health Symposium.
