\"Skyler<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When he was a 4-year-old visitor to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, Skyler Slone ’15 made a life-defining connection that would come full circle when he graduated from Transylvania University. In that moment when Mickey Mouse, happily dancing with a parade of characters, pointed directly to him, he felt the power of live entertainment and its ability to make people feel special. He knew he wanted to do the same for other kids one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A native of Hindman, Kentucky, Slone began his acting career with the Jenny Wiley Theatre in Prestonsburg when he was 9 and cast in the first audition he ever took. Twenty productions later, he arrived at Transy to major in theater and philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE). He thought he might want to pursue entertainment law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next four years, Slone learned every facet of theater. \u201cBecause entertainment is such a competitive world,\u201d he says, the department \u201cwanted to prepare us for everything.\u201d In his senior year, Slone directed \u201cThe Laramie Project,\u201d developing another skill set and awareness for a creative interest he hopes to pursue in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slone says\nthat Transy revealed to him how a liberal arts education works and how\n\u201call-encompassing\u201d it is. Instead of focusing on just philosophy or theater or\nmath, \u201cit\u2019s how all of those things integrate and work together,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe experiences I had both in and\nout of the classroom, engaging with people from different backgrounds, talking\nabout world issues, seeing the interplay between the different subjects\u2014it is\nsomething that is invaluable to a person\u2019s academic and personal\ngrowth.\u201d Slone recognizes how well-rounded he is as a result. \u201cSomeone who has all these different\nskills can apply them to anything they pursue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Transy, Slone made the most of being in Lexington, interning for a political campaign as part of his PPE major and working for a theater production company. He notes that it was Lexington\u2019s \u201cperfect blend of rural and urban\u2014with exciting energy and opportunities\u201d that was part of Transylvania\u2019s combination of attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe location, the small class size, the ability to connect with such a diverse student body, professors who genuinely invest in you and your wellbeing, and the opportunity to make an impact\u2014that\u2019s what I think sets Transy apart,\u201d he reflects. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the best things you can do for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating, Slone joined the Disney College Program as an intern working in operations and studying entertainment development. He then realized his dream of becoming a performer for Disney Parks Live Entertainment in Orlando, completing the circle and promise to his 4-year-old self. Now he’s been selected by Disney to perform in Tokyo, Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he embarks on his new adventure, he invites all prospective Pioneers to \u201ctake that adventurous step to a place that will prepare you to be successful in the world\u2014not just in one subject, but in whatever you choose to do.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
