Now a senior biology major, Lawhorn said it was more than just the picturesque campus that led him to choose Transy \u2014 it was the opportunity to form meaningful connections with his professors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always believe iron sharpens iron,\u201d Lawhorn said. \u201cBeing able to really form these intimate connections with my professors helps me ask deeper questions and understand their subjects \u2014 and them \u2014 as people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally from northern Kentucky, Lawhorn\u2019s passion for biology stems from a fascination with life at both the molecular and whole-organism level. That curiosity is driving him toward a career in medicine, with ambitions to pursue both an M.D. and a J.D. to better understand health care through multiple lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope to combine medicine and law to have a more holistic view of health care,\u201d he said. \u201cNot just as a science, but as something deeply intertwined with legal and ethical issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawhorn\u2019s academic journey includes standout summer research experiences at Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital, where he has been studying bone health and telomere length in patients with telomere biology disorders. He credits his preparation at Transy \u2014 especially courses like Biologist\u2019s Toolkit, which teaches the coding language R \u2014 with helping him stand out among applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt a lot of universities, learning R is optional,\u201d he said. \u201cBut here, they make it a priority, and it really gave me an edge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His favorite class so far? Biochemistry with Eva Csuhai. Though some students find the subject daunting, Lawhorn appreciated how the course connected chemical bonds to larger biological concepts \u2014 especially relevant for someone preparing for medical school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond academics, Lawhorn finds balance through a full day on campus. He prefers morning classes, enjoys breakfast in the cafeteria \u2014 \u201cthe cinnamon vanilla French toast is always great\u201d \u2014 and often studies in the library before winding down with friends at the Beck Center or the campus game room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCollege isn\u2019t just an academic experience,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s also about emotional and social growth, and our professors here understand that. They\u2019re flexible and encouraging, and they want us to take care of ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That student-first mentality is one of the many reasons Lawhorn believes Transy has helped shape not only his academic path but his personal growth. He encourages other students to embrace the support offered at Transy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAccept help,\u201d he said. \u201cProfessors here will extend their hand \u2014 it\u2019s up to you to take it. They want you to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With plans to eventually serve patients in rural communities, Lawhorn said he\u2019s inspired by the idea of not just treating illness but supporting people through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a doctor, sometimes you\u2019re the only source of support for a patient,\u201d he said. \u201cTo be that pillar for someone \u2014 to help them not just survive, but live their life to the fullest \u2014 that\u2019s what I\u2019m working toward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Ethan Lawhorn first visited Transylvania, he was captivated by the historic charm of Old Morrison basking in the summer sun.
