Connections_Jany Brown and Graham VanSchaik_2016.06

Jany Brown (1992) and Graham Van Schaik (2008) met up in Atlanta with Graham’s Mom and Jany’s son (also named Graham) when he was in town taking his medical board exams. Jany had helped to select “Graham 1.0” (as she calls him) as a Coke Scholar in 2008, and was so impressed by him that when she found out she was pregnant with a boy, she told her Mom, “If this guy is as amazing in person as he is on paper, it’s a sign,” and she named her son Graham! They have since formed a friendship and stay in touch often. Jany says that her son Graham, which they call “Graham 2.0,” has “big shoes to fill!”
