Thanks to the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, gifts made online to The Transylvania Fund by Dec. 31 will be matched by 25% for individual donations up to $500. This will help ensure an extra $10,000 goes toward the school. <a href=\"http:\/\/transy.edu\/alumni\/make-a-gift\/make-it-a-match\/\">Learn more<\/a> about this opportunity and <a href=\"http:\/\/transy.edu\/alumni\/make-a-gift\/ways-to-give\/\">additional ways<\/a> to support the university (donate by the end of the year to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2025\/12\/give-now-to-transylvania-for-maximum-impact-before-new-tax-law-changes\/\">take advantage of current tax benefits<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Connor, a health and exercise science major with a psychology minor from Louisville, Kentucky, arrived at Transy in 2022 as a member of the Pioneer volleyball team. Academic awards \u2014 including the Pioneer Scholarship \u2014 made the university attainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am very thankful to all of the donors, because I don&#8217;t think I would be here right now without them and their generosity,\u201d O\u2019Connor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Connor \u2014 whose mother, Seema (Singh) Schantz, graduated in 1989 \u2014 has embraced that spirit of giving back. As a student worker for the alumni and development office, her duties include writing birthday cards to donors and pitching in around the office and for events like Alumni Weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI get to hear alumni stories and see how much they care about this place. It\u2019s really touching to see how much people want to make Transy better and help new students come here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Connor looks back fondly over the past three and a half years \u2014 including reaching the NCAA Elite Eight, an experience made even more special by hosting the early rounds at the Beck Center with a roaring home crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe had such a big support system,\u201d said O\u2019Connor, this year\u2019s team captain. \u201cI truly don\u2019t think we would have gone as far without our fans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s also served as vice president of the Omicron Delta Kappa chapter (a national leadership honor society), vice president of the Student Alumni Association and as a member of Phi Mu sorority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor all of us in the advancement office, spending time with students like Alex affirms why we do what we do,\u201d said Kara Little Covert \u201990, vice president for advancement. \u201cHelping the next
