Monticello medical student wins honor at national convention 2007 CU graduate accepted to Pikeville School of Osteopathy; wants to practice in area after he completes medical studies By Ashley Sidebottom Joseph Tylor "J.T." Silvers of Monticello, KY, received a chapter honor award during the 2007 national Sigma Zeta Convention at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. Silvers, a Campbellsville University student of CU's Alpha Beta chapter of Sigma Zeta, a math and science honor society, recently received a national award. "Every chapter that attended the convention got to give the award to one person, and I was nominated by my fellow club members," Silvers said. Other Campbellsville University students who attended the convention include Candace Sanders of Lancaster, Ohio, Vighter Iberi of Campbellsville, Steven Kim of Korea and Eric Thompson of Calhoun, KY Silvers is a 2007 summa cum laude graduate of CU and received the biology award during the annual Honors and Awards Day. He received a bachelor of science degree with a biology major and chemistry minor during the commencement ceremony May 5. Silvers served as vice president of Sigma Zeta in 2006-07 and "was involved in everything the club did," he said. He helped with fundraisers, the Clay Hill Cleanup and also helped design the winning float in the Centennial Homecoming Parade. "I had some great times at CU," Silvers said.He said he decided to come to Campbellsville University because he was attracted to the small town of Campbellsville and the classroom environment at CU, as well as the Christian atmosphere. Silvers was a member of the CU Tiger Marching Band drumline, and the ultimate Frisbee team Flash 7. He also enjoyed weekly pizza and movie nights at Black Gnat, "blowing things up in chemistry lab, electrofishing in ichyology lab and participating in the prescribed burn at Clay Hill Memorial Forest." "The thing I miss the most about Campbellsville is all the great friends that I made while I was there. Friends are a very important part of my life and I already miss them," Silvers said. He was also one of 80 students accepted to the Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine and began studies this fall. Silvers said he's not sure what he will specialize in yet, but that it would probably be "some form of primary care." "I would like to work somewhere in Central Kentucky," Silvers said. Silvers is the son of Joe and JoCarol Silvers of Monticello, KY and is a 2003 graduate of Monticello High School.
