Q&A with Transylvania University <\/strong><\/em>student Nyah Mattison ’22<\/em><\/strong>, a double major in computer science and digital arts and media, who explains her path and how the Transy community supports her work<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Why did you choose this combination of majors<\/em>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose to focus on these paths because I believe that STEM fields cannot exist without an understanding of humanities also. I wanted to be able to build programs and write code that will better the lives of other people, and be able to connect with them through multimedia. I think both of my majors serve me well in engendering a good understanding of not only the technology that powers our world, but also the people who help make that possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is a Transy education important to you?  <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to me to get an education at Transy because I am constantly surrounded by people who have the potential to change the world. A liberal arts education instills a sense of compassion and understanding about all sectors of the workforce, not just the one you end up going into. The connections that I make here I know will serve me well both now, as I study with my peers, and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does having a William T. Young Scholarship help you learn and grow as a scholar and as a person?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel so grateful and humbled to be a William T. Young scholar. This scholarship allows me the freedom to study uninhibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the generosity of Transy donors, I have gained the ability to see myself as a scholar and leader on Transylvania’s campus. Without the stress of student loans and other debt, I am able to give 100 percent to my academic pursuits and to take on opportunities like unpaid internships that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to take advantage of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am grateful to be a part of such a close-knit community of dedicated life-long learners who understand and appreciate the importance of a liberal arts education as much as I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
