Kyle McCool

Kyle McCool, 18, of Cleveland wasn’t attending Ole Miss this fall until the Women’s Council offered him a golden opportunity he couldn’t refuse: a scholarship.  Along with the scholarship will come the familiar faces and helpful hands of the Women’s Council.

He said that being a part of such a unique commission was something he was not only looking forward to but eagerly awaiting for his freshman year at Ole Miss as an Honors Biochemistry student.

“As a sophomore in high school I took two advanced science classes.  I knew then that my life’s work would involve the study of the human body,” said McCool.  “Also in high school I attended three Junior Science Symposiums at Ole Miss. There, I was introduced what Ole Miss had to offer me.”

McCool said that after earning an undergraduate degree, he would like to attend medical school and become either a radiology or orthopedic surgery physician. 

“The council even has me a summer internship with Baptist Memorial Hospital.  That’s definitely a bonus,” said McCool. “The council is a neat deal. Getting together once a week will be really beneficial to me as a freshman, and already knowing a group of outstanding people.”
