Jill Anderson, who has done research on parasites and is now working on a thesis on
worms, was selected for USA Today’s All-USA College Academic First Team from a
field of 1,200 applicants.
An academic first
Biology major wins USA TODAY honor
By Rebecca Oltmans
Staff Reporter
Gymnastics changed the way
Jill Anderson looked at life.
It wasn’t dreams of being a
world-famous gymnast but
gymnastic injuries that steered
Anderson into her calling.
“I spent a lot of time at the
doctor’s office,” Anderson said.
“I quit gymnastics in the eighth
grade, but by that time it had
already set in. The doctors
became my role models.”
After seeing the doctors in
action, Anderson realized she
wanted to be a physician, and
when it was time to choose
colleges, she enrolled at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
as an biological sciences major.
Her work in the biology
department and her college career
during the past years gained her a
spot on USA TODAY’S All-USA
College Academic First Team.
Anderson, a senior from
Grand Island, was selected to be
one of 20 first-team members.
Three teams of 20 students each
were chosen out of 1,200 appli
cants.
Anderson was nominated by a
professor in the biology depart
ment.
One requirement for the
contest was a 250-word essay on
her most intellectual endeavor.
“It was a last-minute thing,”
Anderson said. “I got the applica
tion and had about five days to
fill it out. 1 sent it in on the last
day it could be postmarked.”
Filling out her application was
a much faster process than the
research she wrote about in her
essay for USA TODAY.
Anderson wrote an article on
the ecological study of parasites
on fish gills in the summer of
1992. The article was published
in the Journal of Parisitology’s
June 1993 issue.
The essay was only one
requirement for consideration for
the award, Anderson said. A high
grade point average and being
well-rounded also were part of
the criteria.
“They said they were awarding
people who excelled in something
outside of sports,” Anderson said.
Anderson has many extracur
ricular activities, including being
a member of Alpha Phi Sorority,
second vice president of the
Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska and an
adviser and lab instructor.
A typical day for Anderson
starts with class and then goes to
anything from grading papers
and working at the research lab to
stopping at the ASUN office or
other organizations’ offices to
meetings and studies at night.
“I always find a little time to
spend with Jackcy, too,” Ander
son said.
For the past three years,
Anderson has been paired up
with Jackcy through her volun
teer work at the Nebraska Human
Resources Institute. The program
pairs children in Lincoln who
display leadership at a young age
with college-age role models.
“I’m supposed to be a role
model, but it’s more of a friend
ship. We talk about a lot of
things,” Anderson said. “My goal
is to see her be the first person in
her family to go to college.”
For Jackcy, who recently
turned 15, Anderson is someone
extra to help her through the
teen-age years, but there arc
benefits for Anderson as well.
“She really opened my eyes to
multicultural issues,” Anderson
said. “She faces prejudices that I
didn’t know existed. I see her
frustration and what she deals
with.”
Anderson also volunteers at
the St. Elizabeth Community
Health bum center as a nurse’s
aide.
“I’m kind of like their extra
two hands,” Anderson said. “I
run errands and visit with
patients.”
Anderson wants to be a
physician, but she hasn’t decided
on a specific field. However, her
experience in the hospital’s bum
unit has her looking into the
intensive care field.
“It changes with what I
observe,” Anderson said. “I may
continue to do research in the
medical field — although I’m a
little burned out on research right
now.”
Anderson is working on her
thesis on the neurobiology of
worms and how it relates to the
organization of their nervous
systems.
“My friends call me the Worm
Woman,” Anderson said.
After graduating from UNL,
Anderson said she was planning
on attending the University of
Nebraska Medical Center in
Omaha.
Anderson said her family, who
had always been supportive,
deserved a lot of the credit for her
success at UNL.
Both Anderson’s parents and
grandparents graduated from the
university, she said.
“UNL is the only college I
applied for,” Anderson said.
“When I was growing up, we
would come to football games
and Homecoming. I wanted to go
to a university that was large, and
I knew I could seek out the good
professors here.”
Getting the award has not had
much effect on Anderson —
except for all the extra attention,
that is.
“This award has just been a
great cap to my college career,”
she said.
