Taylor Smith graduated from Transylvania University in May of 2021, and by mid-August, she was back on campus \u2014 not for a last-minute fifth year, but as the administrative assistant for the Center for Academic and Professional Enrichment<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith had pivoted from her original plan of law school and decided to pursue her true passion: history. Knowing this would mean a gap year, she took the opportunity to apply for the position at Transy, where she remains despite the fact she is now enrolled in a master\u2019s program at the University of Kentucky. Smith said she was surprised at how manageable it is to work full time and take three graduate courses; she also noted she was grateful for the chance to separate herself from studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another perk Smith shared of being a Transylvania employee while in graduate school is the proximity to her professors. \u201cBeing on campus is great because I am able to keep up the relationships I had with my undergrad professors to update them and ask advice \u2014 our conversations are always beneficial. I want to go into academia \u2026 so being on campus and watching it operate from another point of view is a learning experience in itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith also spoke on that \u201cother point of view\u201d and what it\u2019s been like to shift from being a student to staff. \u201cI have a newfound appreciation for all the little details that make the students’ experience easier,\u201d she said. \u201cAs a student, I felt like I could only focus on my academics and extracurriculars, but now I understand that it takes the effort of the entire campus and some people students never even meet to keep campus afloat.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that focus on academics has paid off for Smith. \u201cI really thought everyone was joking when they told me graduate school wouldn\u2019t be so bad after attending Transy. Yet, they were correct. My confidence in my intellect and capability has skyrocketed, in part because I was so prepared for my studies at Transy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduation, Smith plans to pursue teaching. She\u2019s most interested in the collegiate level, yet is open to high school as well. \u201cWhat I care about most is helping students to receive the education they deserve,\u201d she said. \u201cHistory is a subject that often gets discarded as boring and seen as only dates and facts when in reality it is a tool that not only helps us to understand our current identities, heritage, culture and society, but also our future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fellow history buffs out there wondering what her area of interest is, Smith said: \u201cAt the moment, I plan for my research to focus on historical memory through visual arts. In a general sense, I will most likely end up comparing Europe and the United States in terms of how memory is constructed and conveyed through WWI and WWII monuments and memorials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Smith added, \u201cWhen I interviewed, everyone was so nice and kind, and I could tell that the work environment was a healthy one that could support me. As a recent grad, life is confusing and difficult, so I knew coming to work and enjoying myself while there was important. Time and time again this has proven true.\u201d Smith is just one of many alumni who began their careers back at Transy, proof that it\u2019s an institution that invests in students and alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
