Williams and Fairweather are attending graduate school and both were members of the Alice Carson Tisdale Honors College. Williams is in the master’s program for psychology and counseling at the University of Illinois. Fairweather is pursuing a master's degree in accounting at Indiana University

"I am very excited about everything I accomplished at Claflin," said Fairweather, who delivered the “Senior Challenge.” She was Claflin's first-ever NCAA Division II national champion and All- American in track in the 200 meters.

"I came to Claflin on an academic scholarship and joined the track program as a walk-on. I did not come here expecting to become a national champion but working hard, training hard, and doing my best enabled me to excel," said Fairweather.

Fairweather also received scholarship support from the Passport to College program, a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for qualified students from developing countries who are strong in STEM to attend college.

As a first-generation graduate, Fairweather understands what her degree means to her family. "The commencement was a one-in-a- million, extraordinary event for my family," said Fairweather. "My mother could not make the trip from Jamaica, but she was able to watch the live streaming of the ceremony on the computer. She was very, very happy and excited."

Williams described her Claflin experience as “academically stimulating” and said that her mentors and advisors contributed to her success in the classroom and her personal development.

“Claflin has prepared me with the skills to navigate in a world of diverse attitudes and cultures,” Williams said. “Claflin taught me how to think critically as a visionary leader and transformed me into a responsible adult ready to affect positive change in the world.”

Williams plans on earning a doctorate in counseling psychology. Brianna Williams, ’18, and Next, she wants to become a college professor and move up through the ranks in higher education administration.

“After teaching, I want to be a provost or possibly a university Trisana Fairweather, ’18 president,” said Williams. Fredrick DuBois Miriam C. Montgomery Booker T. Whetstone Harvey E. Choplin Joe N.

2017 ■ HONOR ROLL OF DONORS | 13 Hillary Mokaya, ’18 On September 18, 2017, The White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) announced its 2017 list of HBCU All-Stars. Hillary Mokaya, ’18, a business administration major from Nairobi, Kenya, was one of the 62 students who was recognized as a 2017 HBCU All-Stars for his outstanding accomplishments.

The All-Stars are appointed for one year to serve as ambassadors of the White House Initiative on HBCUs. The All-Stars provide outreach opportunities and communications to their fellow students about the value of education and the Initiative as a networking resource. Selected from a wide-range of applicants, the All-Stars came highly recommended from HBCU administrators and proved impressive beyond their resumes, transcripts and thorough applications.

Mokaya is currently working at PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is recognized as the second largest professional services firm in the world, and is one of the Big Four among global accounting firms. Mokaya, who graduated in May 2018 with a degree in business administration, was the company’s first campus hire in their New Ventures program.

Mokaya said that he was very shy when he arrived at Claflin. However, he now has the “Claflin Confidence,” and he is ready for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

18 | 2017 ■ HONOR ROLL OF DONORS Saidah Wright, ’18 Claflin University administrators and faculty had students like Saidah Wright in mind when they began establishing partnerships with some of the region’s leading medical and professional schools. Wright, a member the class of 2018, was the first student to earn a degree through Claflin’s 3+4 partnership with the Campbell University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Wright will continue in the program and pursue a doctorate in pharmacy.

The 3+4 program allows students to earn a biochemistry degree after three years at Claflin. The students spend their senior year completing the program at Campbell University, where they earn credits toward a doctorate in pharmacy. The partnership with Campbell is one of several agreements Claflin has with Clemson University, Presbyterian College and the University of South Carolina in pharmacy and other programs.

Wright, an alumnus of the Alice Carson Tisdale Honors College, said she was tremendously impressed with Campbell’s College of Pharmacy after attending a health professions readiness and enrichment program for prospective students.

“My ultimate career goal is to work in underserved communities,” Wright said. "My interest in a career in healthcare was influenced by my desire to help people. Pharmacy allows me to be the most accessible healthcare provider for patients. This degree will give me that opportunity.”

30 | 2017 ■ HONOR ROLL OF DONORS Allegra Portee, ’19 Mass communications major and UNCF scholar Allegra Portee knows first-hand how UNCF scholarships can impact a student’s life. Her scholarship covered portions of her tuition, books and residential expenses. “I am thankful to UNCF for affording me this opportunity to continue my pathway to a degree and I have no financial burdens that will hinder me,” says Portee.

The Winnsboro, S.C., native was a recipient of the John Lennon Endowed Scholarship that was established by multimedia artist, singer, songwriter Yoko Ono in memory of her late husband, entertainer John Lennon in partnership with UNCF. The scholarship program is designed to provide scholarship support to students attending one of the 37 UNCF-member institutions and is majoring in mass communications, music or a related field.

"Being a UNCF scholar gives me a sense of confidence. Seeing all of the advantages that UNCF provides for students nationally and witnessing the stature of the scholars inspires me to continue applying for scholarships," she said.

2017 ■ HONOR ROLL OF DONORS | 31 Abraham Kipcchirchir Rotich, ’18 Abraham Kipcchirchir Rotich, a biochemistry major from Eldoret, Kenya, was among the 17 international students in the Class of 2018. He is currently attending Case Western University to pursue a doctorate in chemistry. Rotich was a member of the Alice Carson Tisdale Honors College.

"Claflin provided me the opportunity to work in the biology department as a research assistant with Dr. Nick Panasik," said Rotich. "He taught us to explore new methodologies and techniques to solve problems. I conducted research at Claflin and I also spent two years at the University of Iowa. As a researcher, you expect to be challenged by other researchers, which creates a great teaching and learning environment." Rotich's Honors College thesis was related to one of his undergraduate research projects: "Alternative Production of Lactose-Free Milk for Lactose Intolerant People: Enzyme Redesign."

"I made many friends and I will cherish my time at Claflin," said Rotich. "My professors challenged me to think and really prepared me for graduate school."
