The president-elect of the Aspiring Educators branch of the Kentucky Education Association and a member of Transylvania\u2019s Teacher Education Advisory Board, she also volunteers with Fayette County Public Schools, works as a staff member at a learning center in her hometown of Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, and served as a First Engagements Scholar for the 2022-23 academic year. A member of Phi Mu, she is currently the chairperson of academic excellence for the Delta Theta chapter, in addition to holding previous leadership roles within the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne seemingly small step toward a more caring and compassionate school environment can be taken if teachers and administrators recognize students as human beings who each have their own unique experiences,\u201d Hughes said. \u201cEducation for culture and society should create students who recognize a responsibility to one another and the spaces they inhabit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nominating faculty noted that Hughes is \u201csincere, mature, poised, caring and empathetic,\u201d referred to Hughes as \u201cone of the most praiseworthy candidates to ever apply for the Shearer Scholarship,\u201d and wrote that \u201cher future school district will be lucky indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shalash, a political science major from Lexington, has likewise contributed to Transy\u2019s campus and the broader community. President of the Muslim Students Association and vice president of both Transy\u2019s chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa and It\u2019s On Us, Shalash uses her voice to speak for the disenfranchised, organizing protests against the apartheid in Palestine. An admissions ambassador for Transylvania, she has also served as a role model for other young women through her work as a tutor at the Lexington Universal Academy and a mentor at Common Good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spurred by the loss of three friends to gun violence, Shalash plans to pursue a career as a prosecuting attorney. \u201cEverything I do in the classroom, every leadership opportunity and my focus in life is in remembrance of them and the thousands of others who have been impacted by senseless violence in our community,\u201d she said. \u201cAs a prosecutor, I aim to be the gatekeeper who makes monumental decisions at the beginning of the judicial process in order to ensure that justice is served and upheld \u2014 this, without question, is my purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nominating faculty referenced Shalash\u2019s \u201cintelligence, work ethic, presence and communication skills,\u201d noting that she is \u201cexactly the kind of student we should celebrate and recognize at Transy.\u201d One nominator predicted \u201cthere is little doubt that one day she will be one of Transylvania\u2019s most highly regarded alumni,\u201d calling Shalash \u201cbrave, resilient and unflappable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shearer scholarship was established by the Transylvania Board of Trustees in honor of President Shearer and his wife after nearly three decades of dedication to the school. This merit-based award is available for rising seniors in good standing who have achieved a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two
