Lanier, who\u2019s also minoring in philosophy, plans to put his Transylvania education to work as an Army chaplain once he graduates and becomes a second lieutenant. He has an eight-year commitment to military service after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Tuesday Lanier attends a two-hour lecture at UK on topics such as leadership styles. Then on Wednesdays, he has a field lab \u2014 this past week he and other cadets learned advanced land navigation, plotting coordinates on a map, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-810x608.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8306\" width=\"442\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-810x608.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-730x548.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/10\/unnamed-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><figcaption>Last week&#8217;s contracting ceremony at UK<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It really teaches you about personal accountability,\nresponsibility and what it means to truly have a grasp of your own\nfuture,&#8221; Lanier said of the ROTC. As long as you&#8217;re passionate about your\nacademic studies \u2014 and not always playing catch-up with your assignments \u2014 it&#8217;s\na good option to cover tuition costs and have job security after graduation, he\nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be stressful, though. &#8220;You have to definitely manage and balance your time,&#8221; said Lanier, who\u2019s also in the National Guard. But that\u2019s good training for a future officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being chaplain in the military, Lanier will be exposed to a\nvariety of cultures, which interests him as an anthropology major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;ll be counseling his fellow service members who will come\nfrom all walks of life. And on deployments he&#8217;ll experience different societies\nand see how their belief systems influence things like sustainability and\nfuture development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can lead to a fresh way of looking at the world.\nBecause of our own biases, we often ignore the importance of others&#8217; cultural\nbeliefs, Lanier said. &#8220;I like opening up my mind in that regard.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Combining Army ROTC with religion and anthropology majors, sophomore Xaylen Lanier exemplifies the liberal arts ideal of taking a road less traveled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":8304,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[25,145],"tags":[333,359,184],"feeds":[670],"class_list":["post-8301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-students","tag-rotc","tag-student-success","tag-transy-students","feeds-liberal-arts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
