\"Harper<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One never knows what\u2019s going to happen in life. But for Pioneers, it\u2019s about being agile and adaptable, capable of making a sudden pivot, and then embracing and succeeding on that new trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Harper Zeitz \u201920, winner of Transylvania\u2019s Ruchman Biology Award, was finishing her senior year in the midst of the novel coronavirus and a dwindling job market, she quickly realized the need to take action and to cast a wider net. She might need to defer her interest in ecological biology and her original plan to work as a fish and wildlife service technician before moving on to do research in graduate school.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she entered the job market, Zeitz opened herself to new kinds of opportunities. She quickly learned the benefits of having a biology degree from Transylvania \u2014 how her experience and qualifications gave her the flexibility to adapt to different types of jobs, and how she was perceived as a candidate with exceptional critical thinking and writing chops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result was almost immediate. Zeitz was surprised when a company that was building an epigenetics<\/a> lab in Lexington responded on the same day she submitted her application \u2014during finals week \u2014 inviting her to interview the next day. Zeitz was relieved and grateful that Transy\u2019s career development office could respond to her urgent call for help. She received coaching on how to interview and, eventually, how to work through the evolving job offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the Monday after finals, she had a full-time job, dividing her time between writing content for blogs and reports and working as a tech in the new lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I hadn\u2019t had the resources that Transy provided, I don\u2019t know if I would have gotten this job, because there was a lot thrown at me super fast,\u201d Zeitz notes. \u201cAnd if I didn\u2019t have that experience of critical analysis at Transy, I would be so in over my head.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTransy gave me such a holistic educational experience. Yes, I was a biologist, but I did so much more than biology, and I can apply that to so many other facets.”<\/p>Harper Zeitz ’20

<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As part of her work, Zeitz spends a great deal of time reading and digesting science publications and research on holistic health and the measurement of biological rather than chronological age. She finds what\u2019s she\u2019s learning to be very relevant \u2014 even at her early stage of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really love science,\u201d she notes, appreciative that the job is deepening her understanding of the molecular side of her discipline. \u201cIt\u2019s making me a more rounded biologist.\u201d And after more than a month on the job, along with learning vast amounts about a new field, she\u2019s made important personal discoveries as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never expected it, but I\u2019m really excited about it,\u201d she says of being part of a start-up venture. She\u2019s found how much she prefers the creativity of the writing to the repetition of the lab work. And, although she knows that eventually she will return to ecology and go to graduate school, the work experience has already helped her visualize a different kind of direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing in this job has definitely made me rethink what kind of program I want to go into,\u201d she says. \u201cMaybe a dual master\u2019s with a Ph.D. track that deals with science writing and policy.\u201d It\u2019s the role of connecting people with knowledge that has sparked the new interest. \u201cI really do like being that bridge between the communications people at my job, who may not have a science background, and the formal science \u2014 the two worlds of this job.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She notes how broadly Transy prepared her. A sociology and environmental science minor, Zeitz describes not only the breadth of skills and knowledge she developed in her liberal arts education, but also her growth as a person. She points to the close mentoring relationships with her professors, her team sports (field hockey and lacrosse) and the integral sense of service that is woven into the Transy experience through volunteering. The entire Transy experience, she says, makes for a more well-rounded person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeitz was a double athlete in field hockey and lacrosse for which she was named 2019 Heartland Collegiate Lacrosse Conference Defensive Player of the Year.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to be able to read content, write notes and be able to regurgitate it back. That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re fulfilling yourself as a person. That\u2019s not the whole point of learning \u2014 to just be good at taking tests and getting good grades. I think a lot of it, too, is being a good person and being able to make connections with people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through her volunteer work at Transy, including as an organizer for Food Justice, which provides snack packs to students who face food insecurity at Harrison Elementary, she says she found a different level of understanding by \u201cinteracting with people who face these difficult life situations.\u201d The personal connection makes the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really like that Transy allowed me to get out of my shell and make these friendships with my professors and be able to talk to them on a human level.\u201d As a result, she says, \u201cI don\u2019t have a hard time talking with or just being able to connect with people.\u201d It\u2019s something that is helpful in her job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTransy gave me such a holistic educational experience,\u201d Zeitz concludes. \u201cYes, I was a biologist, but I did so much more than biology, and I can apply that to so many other facets.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
