Names of Current Family Graduates - 2026
- Dr. Brittany Bell - (Doctoral) - College Graduate
- Only a small percentage of educational scholars reach the level of achieving a doctoral degree, and Dr. Bell has accomplished a milestone that many continue to strive toward. Through countless hours of studying, long nights of sacrifice, unwavering faith, perseverance, and determination, she transformed a dream into reality here in 2026 at Capella University. This doctoral degree represents far more than an academic achievement—it represents purpose, legacy, and the impact of leading by example. Dr. Bell’s journey was not just about earning a title; it was about creating a foundation for the next generation. This achievement was a declaration to her daughter, Tru Taylor, that with faith, hard work, resilience, and commitment, anything is possible. Dr. Bell, your accomplishment is a testament to your strength, your vision, and your dedication to building a legacy that will inspire your family and community for years to come.
