At Texas A&M, Jarrod is pursuing a B.A. in Political Science focusing on international politics and diplomacy, along with pre-med and a minor in public health. He also works with the Veterans Resource and Support Center and serves as the Campus Program Coordinator for Warrior Scholar Project. In addition, Jarrod is a General Committee Member with the 62nd Student Conference On National Affairs (SCONA) and a member of the Texas A&M Premedical Society.
After graduation, he intends to pursue graduate studies in International Affairs as well as medical school in order to give back through a career in Emergency Medicine. As a physician, he wants to bring skill and experience to providing medical care to patients in environments where it might otherwise not be available.
Anthony joined the service after September 11th and went on to complete the Special Forces Qualification Course training as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant. In his 12 years of service and over the course of multiple combat deployments with 10th Special Forces Group, Anthony realized he wanted to be more than a medic and decided to pursue medical school to become a physician. Driven by this goal, he earned his undergraduate degree and started medical school at Texas A&M, all while serving on active duty in difficult and demanding leadership positions.
During his service, he took charge of the Special Operations Combat Medical Skills Sustainment Course that was responsible for training over 1000 medics a year from all branches of the military. In this position he planned and implemented the restructuring of the course curriculum to better meet the needs of medics on the battlefield, including dedicating more time to hands on casualty scenarios and emphasizing realistic practice of medical skills.
After medical school, Anthony intends to continue serving with the National Guard as a military physician. He wants to continue to improve survival of casualties through superior medical training. He also hopes to continue his service as a physician in the VA Medical System, where he believes he can deploy his experience as a medic, instructor and leader.
On her visit to Elon, Tillman, of High Point, North Carolina, met with Elliott and then-Odyssey Program Director Esther Freeman. She took a tour of campus with a student in the Odyssey Program and then had lunch with Elliott and Freeman at The Root, a popular eatery adjacent to campus.
A sense of community and the Odyssey Program attracted Tillman to Elon. Community also defined her time on campus as an advocate for students, as a mentor and a powerful voice for social justice, diversity, equity and inclusion, said Randy Williams, vice president and provost for inclusive excellence and associate professor of education.
A first-generation college student, Tillman graduated in May with a degree in political science and minors in African & African-American studies and international global studies. Community engagement and service are deeply rooted through family and school experiences.
She also served as a mentor on the College Access Team (CAT), a group of students who guide and tutor students in Elon Academy, a Center for Access and Success program that gives high-achieving local high school students with no prior exposure to higher education access to the university and provides a foundation for them to one day attend a college or university.
Tillman planned all along to major in political science at Elon. She enjoys policy studies and learning how government systems work. She plans to attend law school in the future. A minor in international global studies was not in her original plan.
Her impact on campus at Elon did not go unnoticed. Tillman received the Wilhelmina Boyd African and African American Studies at Elon Award, honoring a graduating senior for academic achievement as well as demonstrating a commitment to African & African American Studies through coursework, citizenship/community engagement, scholarship, and student activities/leadership.
Before graduating, she was named Student Organization Officer of the Year by the Student Government Association for her leadership as president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, which was also honored by SGA as the organization with the highest cumulative GPA on campus in 2020-21.
Tillman is spending her first year after graduation as an Elon Year of Service Graduate Fellow. She works with Impact Alamance, a nonprofit foundation devoted to improving the health and well-being of Alamance County residents. Tillman is working on policy initiatives and leading training sessions on racial equity. After that, she plans to attend law school and pursue a career potentially in human rights law or international law, wherever she can make a difference.
Tillman credits the Odyssey Scholarship program for bringing her to Elon, providing a supportive community and offering access to academic, leadership and social opportunities that will help shape her future. Increasing funding for Odyssey Program scholarships and other scholarships is the top priority of the Elon LEADS Campaign, with a mission to produce graduates the world needs. Tillman is a good example of what an Odyssey Scholarship means.

A contemporary of the noted painter, printmaker, and theoretician Albrecht Drer, Riemenschneider developed a highly personalized artistic vision of his own. Working in Wrzburg from about 1483 until 1531, he was one of the first sculptors to abandon polychromy (the application of color to sculpture) on selected works, leaving visible his favored material, limewood. Placing several figures that have retianed much of their polychromy side by side with his natural wooden sculptures, as well as exquisite works in alabaster and sandstone, the exhibition illustrates the incredible range and mastry Riemenshneider achieved in his work.
While the details of the sculptor's life remain largely undocumented, it is known that he was born in Heiligenstadt, in Thuringia, around 1460. When he moved to the Franconian town of Wrzburg in 1483 to work in a sculptor's workshop, he was already fully trained as an artist. In 1485, he acquired the title of "master," which allowed him to open a workshop of his own, and was awarded with numerous commissions from throughout Franconia. A respected member of Wrzburg society, Riemenschneider served on the municipal council, and was even elected mayor for a year in 1520. His personal as well as professional career came to an abrupt halt, however, during the Peasants' Revolt of 1525. As a member of the municipal council that opposed the prince-bishop of Wrzburg, who wished to move his troops into the town and use it as a center of defense in the uprising, Riemenschneider was imprisoned and possibly tortured. Although he is listed as having performed minor repairs on some sculptures in 1528, no new carvings are known to have been made by him after the Revolt. Riemenschneider died in 1531.
The broad range of Riemenschneider's artistic production is illustrated by elements from altarpieces, cult figures, objects of private devotion, sculpture with a secular function, and models he carved for assistants.
