A Graduate's Success

Dreams Do Come True

Sullivan Offers New Blend

A graduate’s story of success: “Thank you, Sullivan University”

My name is Jason Nathaniel Hulvey and I am from the small rural town of Somerset,

JASON HULVEY Sullivan University Class of 2005

Kentucky. After graduating from Pulaski County High School in 1994, I decided to attend a local community college, but I did not even make it to midterm before I dropped out.

After a couple months of feeling like a complete loser, I decided to re-enroll the next semester. Again, I dropped out by midterm. One year later, I had enrolled for the third time, still with no goals or direction. I managed to hang on for about one and a half years and then decided I would never attend college again.

Sullivan changed his life.

   
Over the next few years I worked several jobs and even had my own business, but I felt limited and extremely frustrated. My business eventually fell through, and I was at a crossroads: keep doing what I was doing, or make a change. I decided to make a change.

I made a commitment to get my bachelor's degree, but I did not want to attend a college where the classrooms had two or three hundred students; I wanted some personal attention. I wanted an education, not just a piece of paper. This is when I decided to look into Sullivan University and it is the best decision I ever made.

I decided to pick a program that I would enjoy, and enrolled into Sullivan’s Human Resource Leadership bachelor’s program. I graduated with a 4.0 grade point average and earned the President's Cup Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement. My dreams came true

In high school I made it through without ever reading a book cover to cover. After years of frustration, I decided to do something about it: I went after my dreams and I'm living them now.

I am the Director of Physician's Recruiting at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital. There could not have been a better job designed for me. I am also a motivational speaker which gives me an opportunity to give back. I love to see others live a life of passion and   fulfill their dreams too.

So what enabled me to make such a major transition in my life? First of all, I was sick and tired of living a mediocre life. I wanted to live a life of contribution. In order to achieve success, I had to change my thinking. I knew that I would have to work hard, but Sullivan helped me to believe that I could be successful. My desire is for you to change your thinking and believe that you will succeed too!
