Josh Buckman \u201916<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Josh Buckman \u201916, a native of Owensboro, Ky., is graduating into a full-time job as an analyst at MJX Asset Management in New York City\u2014his dream job. It\u2019s a direct result of his summer internship at the company\u2014what Buckman calls \u201cone of the best experiences of my life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The internship, made possible through Transy\u2019s alumni network and the\u00a0100 Doors to Success<\/a>\u00a0mentoring program, exposed him to an unexpected side of finance and to a level of professionalism and an approach to living that redefined how he measures success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I hadn\u2019t come to Transy, I would not have interned at this awesome firm. Transy was my platform for doing that,\u201d Buckman says. The economics and business administration double major says he owes his new career to Transylvania\u2019s liberal arts education and the mentoring he received through 100 Doors to Success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnyone can run some numbers,\u201d he explains, \u201cbut if you can\u2019t read and write critically, you\u2019re not going to excel. Being able to effectively comprehend your work and collaborate with others is just as important,\u201d he adds. \u201cThe liberal arts refined my ability to communicate across many media and shaped my thoughts to be more three-dimensional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Buckman didn\u2019t seek out a mentor, the opportunity came to him when one of his professors, who knows him well, matched his specific interests in finance to an alumnus based in Houston. The mentoring relationship led to new insights, additional networking and the life-changing summer internship. Getting to know his mentor, Buckman says, \u201cdefinitely influenced how I think about my career path and life in general. He\u2019s shared a lot of advice with me. That\u2019s been invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania\u2019s close-knit environment, its location in the heart of Lexington, the personal interaction with professors, the alumni network and the liberal arts curriculum are all reasons Buckman chose Transy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to explain how unique Transy is\u2014there are so many opportunities. Transy prepared me well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
