That&#8217;s far from all the highlights of Chilton&#8217;s four years at Transylvania. A health and exercise science major and biology minor, she&#8217;s also on the women&#8217;s golf team, works as an emergency department technician at a local hospital and serves as the pre-physical assistant liaison to the Pre-Health Club.

The physics major from Melbourne, Australia, had been a member of his country&#8217;s under-23 men\u2019s lacrosse national team and wanted to play for the Pioneers. He was also impressed with our physics program. Soon after arriving, Harari took a First-Year Seminar with now-retired professor Brian Rich, which sparked an interest in environmental issues. His enthusiasm grew stronger through later classroom discussions, especially in Zo\u00e9 Strecker&#8217;s Climate Conversations course. This is more than just an abstract fancy, as he joined an ongoing effort to have solar panels installed on campus. Harari is returning Down Under after graduation to pursue a master&#8217;s in international relations at the University of Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-730x486.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-730x486.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-810x539.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/05\/Karrington-Jackson-Senior-Spotlight-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All-American <strong>Karrington Jackson<\/strong> made Transylvania sports history when she went to the Elite Eight during the 2022 season as volleyball team captain.
