Since graduating, Dr. Douglas has led a life full of accomplishment and honors.

He recently served as CEO of THEVAX Genetics Vaccine Company, where he lead a company that uses immunotherapy to address virus induced tumors and infections in patients to improve the quality of life and longevity of its patient. Dr. Douglas was born and raised in Guyana during a time of great political unrest and, as a result, was unable to obtain the required funds needed to attend university. In his book, “Defining moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream,” Dr. Douglas explains how he was offered a Fulbright Scholarship to the university of his choice in the United States of America; Lehigh University would be his final choice. Without this scholarship, where would we be?
