Student Spotlight
Jy Nunley’s path to the stage at Presbyterian College’s 2025 Army ROTC Commissioning Ceremony wasn’t just marked by discipline and determination. It was built on a deep, personal understanding of resilience—one shaped by her own childhood in a single-parent household and her growing desire to serve others, both in uniform and in her community.
Nunley, a sociology major from Camden, South Carolina, graduated from PC on May 10 and was commissioned the day before as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. She will serve in the transportation branch of the South Carolina Army National Guard.
But for Nunley, the ceremony was more than a career milestone. It was the embodiment of a larger commitment: to protect, uplift, and lead. That commitment will guide her not only in the military but also in her planned future as a law enforcement officer, where she hopes to make a lasting impact through service and advocacy.
