Transylvania University graduate Andrew Meyer \u201917 had dreams of following in his grandfather\u2019s footsteps and joining the military, but a peanut allergy thwarted any chance he had at pursuing that path. But as a pre-engineering student at Transylvania, he worked with physics professor Jamie Day to build a new path, one that would allow him to find another innovative way to serve his community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He took advantage of Transy\u2019s 4+1 engineering graduate school partnership with the University of Kentucky to take courses at its school of engineering as an undergraduate at no additional cost. He graduated from Transy with a degree in physics, and when he applied for UK\u2019s master\u2019s program, his adviser, Yang-Tse Cheng, offered him free tuition to join his group and go straight into the Ph.D. program instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat kind of opportunity was hard to pass up, so I agreed,\u201d Meyer says. \u201cAnd when I started my graduate course work, I was not far behind the other students. I quickly caught up, and even got ahead when the courses started getting into new material.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer is currently in his third year of the Ph.D. program,\non track to finish his degree by 2022. He plans to lead research and\ndevelopment teams to advance the current understanding of energy storage, which\nwill help protect the community and the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His passion for research and collaboration began as an\nundergraduate, and the preparation he received at Transy along with the\nopportunities he was afforded through its collaboration with UK laid a\nfoundation for his current and future work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing able to work as a team with others outside of your\narea of expertise, and being able to effectively communicate, is crucial,\u201d he\nsays. \u201cThis is where a liberal arts education really gave me an advantage. It\nhelped me to become a team player and gave me opportunities to develop my soft\nskills such as communication and leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania has graduate school\npartnerships<\/a> in engineering, medicine, pharmacy and business, and their\npopularity is growing as students are finding that they can enjoy all the\nbenefits of Transy\u2019s personalized education without sacrificing program-specific\ntraining. In fact, some of those partnerships guarantee spots to Transy\nstudents every year, as they recognize how well-prepared students are to\nsucceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGraduate work is a lot of on-your-own learning and problem\nsolving, which I was prepared for thanks to Transylvania,\u201d Meyer says. \u201cIt gave\nme a leg up compared to other graduate students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
