Recent graduate ready to begin federal job while continuing dance education

On June 17, Martin Wiley ’13 will begin working for the United States government. Wiley’s ability to secure a great position during a tough economy proves his dedication to preparing for a career both during the school year and on breaks has paid off.

He will serve as an information technology specialist for the Office of Personnel Management, the U.S. government office that manages job announcements, pension plan payments, and other related tasks. Wiley will provide technical support and hardware management for other federal employees.

“I was able to get the job because I had previously interned there for three years during my breaks from college,” Wiley said. “They decided that they would love to have me after graduation because of my work ethic and personality.”

The job’s location also places him in a position to pursue another dream: becoming a professional dancer. He majored in dance at Randolph and was well known for his contributions to dance concerts. However, because he did not discover his talent and passion for dance until his sophomore year at Randolph, Wiley is still new to the art. So when he gets off from his day job, expect to find him studying his passion in dance studios in Washington, D.C.

Megan Wheatley ’13 continues pursuing master's degree in nursing

Megan Wheatley ’13 graduated from Randolph less than a month ago, but she already is halfway done with her master's degree in nursing.

Megan took advantage of Randolph College's dual degree program with Vanderbilt University School of Nursing. This program allows students to attend Randolph for three years and Vanderbilt for two. After the first year at Vanderbilt, students receive a bachelor of arts in health services from Randolph, after which they study for one more year to earn a master of science in nursing degree from Vanderbilt.

As a participant in Randolph's Davenport Leadership Program and a member of the volleyball team, Megan is one example of a student who applied herself and found great opportunities at Randolph. Over the next several weeks, we will introduce you to more members of the Class of 2013 who exemplify our motto Vita abundantior, the life more abundant. Return to the blog regularly to meet them.
