From one Pioneer to another<\/em><\/strong> \u2026 with thanks to everyone who supports the Transylvania Fund.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maggie Wright ’22 is a pre-med student, Kenan scholar, chemistry major, president of the Student Alumni Association, sorority member, flautist, recipient of a music scholarship, native of Warsaw, Kentucky, and a double legacy student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose Transy?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because when I visited campus, every single person greeted me even though they didn\u2019t know me. Whether it was a smile or a little wave, it really made a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the impact of scholarships? What do they make possible?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These scholarships are the reason I\u2019m here. My family could not afford an education for me without my scholarships. They truly make me work harder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is an education at Transy so important to you?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to do fantastic things in life, and I do not believe that\u2019s possible without my Transy education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why chemistry? What do you hope to do after you graduate?  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have loved chemistry since high school, but everyone told me it was too hard and that I should be a biology major. I quickly realized when I arrived at Transy that biology was not for me, and I truly enjoyed chemistry. My goal is to attend medical school after graduation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you like to say to donors who make your scholarship possible? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the generosity and thoughtfulness of our fantastic donors, I was able to come to Transylvania University. Without you, I would not be here fulfilling my goals and dreams. I cannot say thank you enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
