Transfer & Transform: Adam Bolt
As a nontraditional transfer student, Adam appreciated the smaller classroom sizes and individual attention from professors at Emory & Henry. The time and effort the faculty invests into their students was a difference maker in his education.
“Dr. Lee, Dr. Grossman, Dr. Hainsworth, and Dr. Davis, spent extra time ensuring that I was successful after leaving Emory & Henry,” says Adam. “I am forever grateful to them and the rest of the faculty and staff who were friendly, helpful, and welcoming during my times at Emory & Henry. I will never be able to thank them enough. They are the ones I continue to work hard to make proud.”
Adam is now a viticulturist and winemaker at Abingdon Vineyards.
“The Connected Liberal Arts experience and community driven campus allows for many opportunities when it comes to careers,” says Adam. “I was able to advance in the industry because of the diverse skills provided by my professors.”
At Emory & Henry, Adam hosted a radio show on WEHC, entitled “Holston Valley Folk,” that spotlighted local musicians gave many musicians and songwriters the opportunity to perform on live radio for the first time.
“Work hard and doors will open for you,” Adam advises future transfer students.
