How has Amherst impacted the decisions we've made? What college memories have stayed with us? How are we thinking about the next 20 years? アート エンターテインメント・舞台芸術 社会科学

  • Dr. Bob “Buck” Tashjian Makes His Mark In Medicine, Mentorship, And Art
    2025/05/29
    It's time to catch up with Dr. Bob “Buck” Tashjian, a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in shoulder and elbow surgery at the University of Utah. Buck’s journey to medicine was anything but linear. Despite achieving academic and athletic excellence at Amherst College, he faced a major setback when he was initially rejected from all the medical schools he applied to. What followed was a year of physical labor, soul-searching, and a well-earned admission to Tufts School of Medicine. He has proved all those other schools wrong ever since. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about disappointment, growth, humility, and reconnecting with parts of yourself you may have left behind. Key Takeaways: Resilience through rejection: Buck’s path to medicine began with a painful setback, but he used that time to reassess and reapproach his goals with new perspective and humility. Mentorship matters: Buck emphasizes that personal and professional growth is rooted in leaning on others and helping those who follow. Pursuing long-held passions: Later in life, Buck returned to the visual arts, proving it’s never too late to explore creativity. (Check out the full blog post at mattcollinsblog.com for examples of his work.) Shoulder health tips for our 50s: Stretching, low weights with high reps, and attention to mental health all play a role in managing joint pain. Plus, Buck nominates two classmates he hopes to hear from next. To get in touch with Buck, email him at Robert.Tashjian@hsc.utah.edu.

  • Ed Castillo Is Not Your Average Strategist-Philosopher-Foreign Agent
    2025/05/22
    Ed Castillo’s post-Amherst path might be one of the most uniquely purposeful stories you’ll hear from our classmates. In this episode, we follow his journey from a philosophy major at Amherst to advertising Chief Strategy Officer - and registering and acting as a foreign agent. He may not drive an Aston Martin and pack a Walther PPK, but the man loves words and has a very spicey take on reading that will get you thinking. Highlights from our conversation: 🧠 Why Ed pursued philosophy not despite, but because of his desire to work in advertising 🛑 His early career “failure” that helped him find the field where overthinking is a superpower 📊 The limitation inherent in marketing degrees—and what he’s actually looking for when hiring 📚 His provocative argument against reading as the best vehicle for knowledge 🎯 How multicultural marketing needs to evolve beyond identity clichés 💜 The Amherst classmates he wants me to interview next Big thanks to Lee Maicon for nominating Ed.

  • Nate Smith Missed His Exit But Found His Way
    2025/04/21
    Nate Smith's post-Amherst journey literally reads like an epic. At the age of 26, he left the school where he had been teaching and didn't come back. Instead, he embarked on a life-changing, sometimes harrowing road trip all the way from Maryland to Central America, living out of his car and taking odd jobs to survive. His journey reached a turning point when he had to sell his car and found himself homeless in Panama. With the help of the US Embassy, Nate made his way back home, bringing with him invaluable lessons about privilege, productivity, and the importance of giving back. Today, Nate is married with two kids, and he has returned to teaching with a passion. He also hasn't lost his wanderlust; Nate works as an eighth-grade mathematics teacher in Vietnam. Join Nate and me as we delve into the memorable moments of Nate's life, his thoughts on humankind, and the lessons he has learned along the way. His experience is a testament to the strength of family, the importance of self-reflection, and the enduring impact of a supportive community. Plus, learn whom Nate wants me to interview next. You can email Nate at nathansmith.ghana@gmail.com.
