Savannah Lambert spent a semester abroad in Germany through the Kentucky Institute for International Studies, where she took classes with students from all over the world and took part in a community theater production in German. She’s part of Transy’s nationally recognized speech and debate team and is pursuing a career in diplomacy with her majors in international affairs and German.

Transy has a global outlook, which is really impressive given the size of the institution. Because of that we’re able to have much more intense and productive discussions where everyone’s voice is able to be heard. We’re able to elevate all these different points of view that help make us more globalized citizens.

Jessi Samuel double-majored in sociology/anthropology and psychology, so it’s safe to say she thinks deeply about people and their cultures. At Transy she’s gotten the opportunity to take that curiosity beyond campus and learn about diverse cultures by seeing them for herself. She studied music in Costa Rica and is taking advantage of Transylvania’s Peace Corps Prep Program, where she is earning special consideration for acceptance into the Peace Corps after college.

 Transylvania has provided me with so many opportunities over the past four years. From my study abroad experience, I learned that music is a way to connect globally across an array of cultures. It’s one aspect of life that can be used to connect us all.
