Digging into Discovery:
How Transy turned connection into opportunity<\/strong>

When Ethan Winn \u201926 packed his bags for a summer in Turkey, he wasn\u2019t chasing sun-soaked beaches or a classic European vacation. He was chasing history \u2014 quite literally with a shovel in hand. The neuroscience and philosophy double major from Bowling Green, Kentucky, spent his summer unearthing ancient ruins at Elaiussa Sebaste, a Greco-Roman port city on Turkey\u2019s southern coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not the kind of opportunity you\u2019d expect for someone outside the history department \u2014 but that\u2019s exactly what makes his story so quintessentially Transy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a history major,\u201d Winn said with a smile. \u201cI just really enjoyed my Greek classes and kept taking them.\u201d One class led to another, which led to a faculty connection, which led halfway around the world \u2014 with a shovel in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
