\"2018<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Few would argue that our society today is fiercely\npolarized: red vs. blue, left vs. right, rural vs. urban, the haves vs. the\nhave-nots. This is not a new crisis, and it has been a long time coming. But\nits corrosive effect on basic civility is deeply troubling. We have forgotten\nhow to talk to each other, and sometimes it feels we have forgotten how to care\nfor each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erica Horn, however, wasn\u2019t willing to watch one of those\nchasms widen in her own community. She refused to ignore a problem that she\nfelt could be solved, or at least mitigated. By raising her voice, investing\nher time, and imagining a better life for some of her neighbors\u2014whatever their\nideologies, religious convictions, skin color, or ethnic origin\u2014she understood\nthat she could help lift up her entire community. With effort, she could start\nbridging those gaps.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
At Transylvania’s 2018 Academic Convocation, President Seamus Carey bestowed an honorary degree on Erica Horn \u201983, co-founder of GleanKY and associate director of tax services at Dean Dorton.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here in central Kentucky we might be surprised how many\nresidents live with food insecurity, their next meal uncertain, its nutritiousness\nsuspect. After working with a community garden at Beaumont Presbyterian Church,\nErica thought it would be possible to gather leftover bounty from other\ngardens, orchards, farmers markets, and grocery stores and, with the help of a dedicated\nvolunteer army, distribute it to organizations that serve the hungry. Those\nneighborly interactions might, in turn, promote conversations among people from\ndifferent circumstances, encourage mutual understanding, and help all involved\nrecognize how much they have in common rather than focusing on how they are\ndifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is precisely what we hope to achieve at Transylvania\nUniversity. By exposing our students to a liberal education based in the\nhumanities, the arts, and the sciences, by teaching them to reflect and to\nquestion, by encouraging them to debate the big issues and to engage the other\nside, we hope to develop citizens who can interact with each other with civility\nand then work productively to solve the world\u2019s biggest problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of that goal, Erica is a Transy success story\u2014not because she pursued advanced certifications and degrees and has established herself as a respected professional, but because, from that position of privilege and comfort, she has reached out to others who need a little extra assistance. It is for her demonstration of what it means to be a citizen that we offer her this honorary degree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
