...past four years, Diana C. Montoya-Fontalvo ’07 has been so busy with dance and pre-med classes that she’s traded in her nights of “Salsa dancing” for “sleeping.” Montoya-Fontalvo’s new definition of class is “a person who comes out of a hard situation with their head up.” Next year, she sets off for Columbia Medical School, ready to move on to bigger and better things. “I am moving...
