Biography
Salim Stewart was born in Chicago, Illinois, moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and finally settled down in Detroit, Michigan, where he has been living for the past 10 years, before attending Howard University. Stewart is a biology student with an interest in genetics, as well as doing research on cloning, artificial insemination, and prosthetics. He is leaning toward medical school and becoming a heart surgeon or heart specialist. Stewart decided to come to Howard not only because of the full-ride scholarship offered by the Karsh STEM Scholars Program, but also because he heard so many good things about the University. He chose STEM because of his love for superheroes. Stewart says many superheroes are phenomenal scientists, so for him to be a superhero, he would have to be a phenomenal scientist, too. Stewart looks forward to improving the lives of all people through medicine, prosthetics, and/or cloning.
