Celebrating 20 Years! Chellgren Student Fellow Alumni Spotlight: Q&A with Aaron Silverstein, Chellow Class of 2016

Aaron Silverstein, originally from Paducah, KY, pursued degrees in Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Kentucky, where he also minored in violin performance. His involvement with the Chellgren Center began early in his undergraduate journey, ultimately connecting him with a research mentor and providing workshops and opportunities that deeply shaped his academic path. The fellowship’s research requirement launched a trajectory that carried him through continuous lab work, a completed PhD, and into the UK MD/PhD program, setting the foundation for his future in neurosurgery.

Celebrating 20 years of the Chellgren Center Student Fellows Program! Alumni Spotlight and Q&A with Alpha Parrott, Chellow Class of 2011.

Alpha Parrott was the first to respond to our Q&A Alumni Spotlight! Originally from Franklin, TN, Alpha pursued degrees in political science, classics, and history at the University of Kentucky. While at UK, she was a Singletary Scholar, a Chellgren Student Fellow, and a Gaines Fellow. Because of the Chellgren Center, Alpha matched with her research mentor and drove her to pursue a research internship focused on a medieval Latin manuscript with Special Collections. She recently published a short story and is looking for a home for a full-length poetry collection as well.
