Dante Melillo is a freshman planning to study Chemistry and Arabic. He loves to learn about new cultures from all across the world — especially those he is not familiar with. After Brandeis he plans to pursue a career in medicine and research, and he wants to study Arabic in order to work with Doctors Without Borders across the Middle East. Outside of school, he really enjoys listening to music and traveling. He can’t wait to dive further into Arabic studies and share this passion with others!
