Two Transylvania University Pioneers recently received awards from the Alpha Lambda Delta honor society, building on the school’s tradition of being a national leader in the number of students receiving ALD accolades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumnus Ajibola Bakare ’15 received the Dr. Mike Nichols Graduate Fellowship, named after a retired Transylvania psychology professor who was a longtime adviser of the campus ALD chapter and served 26 years on the National Council. Also, current student Mary Gearon ’22 was awarded a James G. Stemler Study Abroad Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bakare, who is from Lagos, Nigeria, will put his fellowship money toward his studies at the Tulane University School of Medicine. \u201cAs someone passionate about social justice and health equity, I am committed to healing communities through research and public service,” he said. “My goal as a future physician will not only involve healing physical ailments, but I will also strive to advocate for equity in health care access and delivery \u2014 especially within underserved communities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, around 20 Transylvania students have received competitive ALD fellowships; 26 are given each year to the group’s members across the country. The awards, which range from $2,000-$7,000, offset the expense of graduate or professional studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The honor society, which recognizes first-year college students for academic success, inducted Bakare in 2015 and Gearon in 2019. Both have focused their studies on biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gearon’s scholarship will help pay for her travel to France during the upcoming school year. \u201cI hope that studying abroad will help me become a more well-rounded and empathetic person,” said Gearon, who is from Hodgenville, Kentucky. “Being able to leave my state is a huge privilege, and with this opportunity I know I will come back as a better leader, communicator and individual that can serve my community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hers is one of 20 annual ALD’s scholarships recognizing the importance of educational experiences outside the United States \u2014 they reflect the group’s commitment to “helping its membership develop a more global view of the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1924, ALD recognizes students\u2019 academic success during their first year of college. Its mission is to \u201cencourage superior academic achievement, to promote intelligent living and a continued high standard of learning, and to assist students in recognizing and developing meaningful goals for their unique roles in society.\u201d The group has more than a million lifetime members and a presence on 280 campuses across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
