ALUMNI PROFILE

As a military-friendly school, Winthrop University helped ease Martha Selmon’s path to working in healthcare.
Selmon’s military service enabled her to move around the country and to live overseas. Now that she's completed her bachelor's degree at Winthrop, she is concentrating on earning her graduate agree
Born and raised in California, Selmon moved to Yuma, Arizona, when she was 18. She earned her GED there in 2010 and started working on a nursing degree at her local community college, but then changed gears and instead joined the U.S. Army in 2013, becoming a dental specialist.
After basic combat training in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and advanced training for dental specialists at Fort Sam Houston in Texas, she was assigned to Landstuhl, Germany, the largest military hospital in Europe. There, she cross-trained as an oral surgeon's assistant while doing other clinical rotations in the dental healthcare setting and administrative setting.
Selmon married a fellow active-duty soldier in 2015 and received an honorable discharge from the military in 2017. Once her husband left the military, they moved to Arizona, where she earned a cosmetology certification. The couple, who have two boys, moved to South Carolina in 2022 to be closer to her husband’s family.
“I decided to set a goal for myself: to finish what I started many years ago. I wanted to take that challenge a step further and pursue graduate school,” Selmon said. “I found my passion for healthcare before the military, which was further reinforced during my time in the Army while serving in the healthcare field.”
A quick Google search pointed to her next station: Winthrop. She ultimately chose the Bachelor of Professional Studies with a conce
Throughout its history Star Trek has been lauded for its displays of inclusion and diversity, however, there is at least one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that fails to meet these standards: “Code of Honor.” Now a couple of TNG actors are pointing out how this racially insensitive episode is a particularly poor fit for today’s climate… and was all along.
The “embarrassment” that is “Code of Honor”
This weekend, GalaxyCon brought in Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker), Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar, Sela), and John de Lancie (Q) for the second of its two Star Trek: The Next Generation virtual events. The panel started off with a discussion of the TNG pilot “Encounter at Farpoint” and when the moderator jumped forward to discuss the series finale Frakes interjected with, “Are we just going to wipe right through ‘Code of Honor’ is that what you are planning on doing here?”
“Code of Honor” was the fourth episode of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, airing first on October 12, 1987. The episode focuses on the Enterprise’s visit to the planet of Ligon II to pick up a vaccine only available from Ligonians. While not human, the Ligonians were humanoid and all depicted by Black actors, with a society and dress styled on non-specific African tribal culture. The main crisis of the episode involves the Ligonian leader Lutan kidnapping Crosby’s Lt. Yar, a blonde white woman. In the years since the episode has aired, many members of the cast and crew have called it out for being racially insensitive.
