The award goes to undergraduate or graduate students whose volunteer activity substantially addresses a distinct need in the community.” Pradeep was recognized for founding GUIDES, a student-run community service project that mentors youngsters at Peoria’s Quest Charter academy and encourages them to excel academically. His resume of service is matched by intellectual and clinical achievement. As one internist said, “he has a calm and soft demeanor which is extremely comforting for patients who interact with him, and he develops a bond and is a noticeable advocate for their well-being at all times.” Pradeep, who has a strong interest in neurosurgery, earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
