Terriers Shine in Health Science
Emily Hathcock ’23, a biology major from Summerville, South Carolina, at the state 
leadership conference for Future Health Professionals.
By Eyon Brown ’21, communications intern
The future of health science shines even brighter at Wofford.
Spearheaded by Emily Hathcock ’23, a biology major from Summerville, South Carolina, a 
chapter of Future Health Professionals, formerly known as Health Occupation Students of 
America (HOSA), has been established on campus and recently had multiple students place 
at South Carolina’s Future Health Professionals Virtual State Leadership Conference in early 
March.
Among these three students were Morgan Ellis ’22, who competed in Health Care Issues; 
Aidan Jenkins ’24, who placed first in Nutrition; and Rashee Amin ’23, who placed first in 
Medical Assisting. Jenkins and Amin will represent Wofford and South Carolina on the 
international stage when they compete at the Future Health Professionals Virtual International 
Leadership Conference in June. The Executive Council will still travel to Orlando to hold an 
opening session and a recognition session, but most participants in the conference will do so 
virtually. I think we can cut this.
Recognized by the United States Department of Education, Future Health Professionals is an 
organization that allows students in high school and college to prepare for careers in medical 
fields through both test-based and skills-based competitive events. Event categories include 
areas such as health science, health professions, emergency preparedness, leadership and 
teamwork.
Hathcock, who has been a member of Future Health Professionals for seven years and who 
currently serves as the organization’s postsecondary/collegiate vice president, speaks
glowingly of the impact that her membership and her competitive experiences have had on 
her life.
“I had the skills at 14 to stop someone from bleeding uncontrollably,” Hathcock says. “I also 
had the skill at 14 to stop someone from not only bleeding out, but I was able to open an 
airway at such a young age, and I think that’s incredibly important. It’s one of the reasons I fell 
in love with HOSA because it provides that experience for you to potentially save someone’s 
life and help someone in any way possible.”
At the collegiate level, membership in Future Health Professionals is slightly different than it is 
at the high school level. In college, students have much more access to internship 
opportunities working in hospitals and other medical settings. The desire for such experiences 
and opportunities allowed Hathcock to bring her idea of establishing a chapter at Wofford to 
fruition.
“I was able to get it started by just finding an advisor, finding a couple students who, some of 
them had no idea what HOSA was, they were just on board to have some sort of experience 
in healthcare,” she says. “And so, we had three students compete at the state leadership 
conference this year and then we had one compete last year when it switched over to virtual.”
For other students who may be interested in becoming a member of Future Health 
Professionals, Hathcock encourages them to reach out to her or any of the officers. The 
officers include Chandler Dickert ’23, Sammy Omar ’23, Grace Levitt ’23, Sara Faucett ’23, 
Sabrina Skiff ’23, Ellis and Jenkins. Membership dues are $20, followed by dues for 
paraphernalia such as T-shirts.
Johnson Recognized during Women’s History Month
Major Brooke Johnson ’06 serves as the brigade judge advocate for the U.S. Army’s
3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division. The division recently profiled her in a 
Facebook video for Women’s History Month. She discusses what led her to enlist and what 
inspires her.

The gold standard
By Robert W. Dalton
Eyon Brown ’21 went straight from graduation to the hall of fame.
Brown, who graduated in May with a B.A. degree in English, is spending his summer as a
marketing intern at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
“It’s a great museum, and I’ve been doing a lot of graphic design work. It’s been a nice
challenge, and I’m learning a lot,” Brown says.
One of Brown’s first tasks was creating the hall’s “Gold Jacket Spotlight” social media posts.
The posts highlight a hall-of-famer each week, and he’s prepared all of the posts for the rest
of the calendar year.
Brown’s current project is designing credentials for enshrinement week, which kicks off on
Aug. 5 and includes the induction ceremonies for the 2020 and 2021 classes on Aug. 7-8.
He’s also studying photos of the Gold Jackets â€“ as the living hall-of-famers are called â€“
so he’ll recognize them when he sees them in person.
“It’s going to be a really cool experience being here for enshrinement week,” Brown says.
Brown is one of 13 interns at the hall this summer and one of two on the marketing team. He
originally applied for an internship with the communications team and made it to the final
interview stage.
“They kind of went in a different direction and that was fine,” Brown says. “So I was going to
end up as a corporate communications intern at Volvo up in New Jersey.”
On the Wednesday of spring break week, the Hall of Fame came calling, and Brown’s plans
changed. There was an unexpected opening on the marketing team, and they wanted him to
fill it.
“Where I wanted to be originally was the Hall of Fame, so I took the opportunity,” he says.

Three alumni join Wofford’s Board of Trustees for 2021-22
The South Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church recently elected three
new trustees for Wofford College’s Board of Trustees.
The conference held its annual meetings virtually June 6 and 7 and elected Dr. Katherine A.
“Katy” Close ’83 of Stamford, Connecticut, and Pawleys Island, South Carolina; the Hon.
Timothy E. “Tim” Madden ’85 of Greenville, South Carolina; and the Rev. Lisa N. Yebuah ’99
of Raleigh, North Carolina.
“Wofford College is thrilled to welcome three familiar faces and leaders with a deep
commitment to the college to the board of trustees,” says President Nayef Samhat. “We are
also appreciative of the service of those who are rotating off the board. They showed
tremendous leadership during a time of uncertainty, and their leadership helped the college
set new records in enrollment and selectivity.”
The new trustees are filling vacancies caused by the expiration of terms of D. Christian
Goodall ’79 and Chairman Corry W. Oakes ’89. A third seat is being filled after the October
2020 death of the Rev. John W. Hipp ’75.
Four current trustees were re-elected to new four-year terms: Steven W. Mungo ’81, the Hon.
Costa M. Pleicones ’65, Joshua S. Whitley ’05 and Joyce Payne Yette ’80.
During the trustees’ May meeting, officers were elected for the 2021-22 academic year:
Chair: Christopher A. P. Carpenter ’90
Vice Chair: Stanley E. Porter ’89
Secretary: Hon. Costa M. Pleicones ’65
