Benjamin Ali, a freshman at Marmion Academy in Aurora, has been selected as a delegate for the Congress of Future Medical Leaders, which will take place in Lowell, Mass., June 25-27.

The Congress of Future Medical Leaders is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields.

During the three-day congress, Ali will join students from across the country and hear Nobel laureates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans; and hear stories from patients who are living medical miracles.

He is the son of Riaz and Victoria Ali.
