The chemistry major from Lexington has tutored fellow Pioneers in that subject as well as biology and calculus. After spending two summers researching organic chemistry with professor Bob Rosenberg, she&#8217;s been sharing her knowledge of that difficult field as an embedded learning fellow. &#8220;I wanted to be a tutor because I loved the collaborative nature of helping my peers while also gaining even more knowledge about the subjects I\u2019ve grown to love,&#8221; she said. Bradley added that it&#8217;s sometimes less stressful to ask another student a question than a professor. She&#8217;s also been a member of the American Chemistry Society and Pre-Health Club and played viola all four years. Plus, she&#8217;s served as a leader in PhiDE and the Transy Dance Marathon. Bradley hopes to attend the UK College of Medicine.<\/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\/2025\/04\/nate_brother-730x486.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/nate_brother-730x486.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/nate_brother-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/nate_brother-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/nate_brother-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/nate_brother-810x539.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/nate_brother-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/nate_brother.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nate Brother<\/strong> has taken full advantage of opportunities to engage in campus life and research during his time at Transylvania. The history major with a double minor in classics and political science sang in the choir all four years and has served a resident assistant, area coordinator and copy editor for The Rambler. He also studied Civil War battlefield memory in Virginia, supported by one of our summer research grants. Balancing leadership, collaboration and academic excellence, Brother has inspired his fellow Pioneers. He sees getting involved as a way to give back: &#8220;I think the biggest strength of Transy is the people here, and I have received so much support from that community.&#8221; Brother, who&#8217;s from Mount Sterling, Kentucky, plans to pursue a master&#8217;s in history at Virginia Tech after graduation.<\/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=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_cc-730x585.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_cc-730x585.jpeg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_cc-350x281.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_cc-768x616.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_cc-810x649.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_cc-300x241.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_cc.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to a double major in the STEM and art fields, <strong>Caroline Cockrell<\/strong> is headed to medical school with a well-rounded liberal arts education.

On campus, she also served as president of Phi Mu sorority, area coordinator for Dalton-Voigt and Poole residence halls, secretary of the Lampas Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa and as a Writing Center staffer. &#8220;I was really lucky to have amazing mentors in my time at Transy who helped me find organizations that I felt passionate about,&#8221; said Hamm, who minored in sociology as well.

Off campus, he learned valuable skills working in news production for WLKY, digital marketing for Log Still Distillery and as a writer for UnderMain. On campus, he served as co-editor-in-chief for The Rambler and president of Delta Sigma Phi, and he&#8217;s been a Campus Center building manager, First Engagements scholar and coordinator, and a commentator for our esports competitions. What&#8217;s motivated him to be so engaged? The WRC major from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, credits Pioneers who graduated before him. &#8220;I saw the impact that older student leaders had on campus, and I wanted to make a similar investment into the organizations I cared about,&#8221; he said.
