Congratulations to the 2026 Bill "Pee Wee" Summers recipient Ford Brandt! Classmates selected him as the senior man with outstanding character and integrity, service to the community and potential for great achievement. Ford is an aspiring physician from Topeka, Kansas, graduating magna cum laude with a physics major and leadership studies minor. He will spend his gap year working at a local skin cancer center. A Faculty Award Finalist, Ford has held leadership roles in honor societies for physics, biology, pre-med and Mortar Board as well as Phi Gamma Delta and Interfraternity Council. He has especially enjoyed being part of the Pryor Leadership Studies Program and working on the class legacy project to renovate Mathes Gym. "It has taught me a lot about teamwork, communication, follow-through and what it means to leave something better than you found it." #Jewellproud #Classof2026 #Jewellgradsgofurther
