Recent Belmont exercise science graduate Beau Kovach will trade his cap and gown for a new costume this summer as he transforms into an entertainment performer in the Disney College Program. Beginning later this summer, Kovach will join other college students and new graduates who share a similar passion, making people smile.<\/p>\n

Growing up as a self-proclaimed \u201cDisney child,\u201d Kovach\u2019s mother worked at a Disney store and gained traits and attributes that Kovach always admired.\u00a0\u201cThe Walt Disney Company has the ability to elicit an unprovoked, natural happiness, and that is something that I would love to contribute to on a daily basis,\u201d he said. \u201cI cannot wait to be a reason why families, including my own, will have memories of a lifetime just from a small interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"CollegeKovach visited Disney World during his audition process and found a fraternity brother with similar dreams. The two, among many other applicants, have stayed in touch throughout their Disney journey and look forward to experiencing the program together. As a committed member of his brotherhood, Kovach said he is very grateful to continue to make connections with brothers from across the country while\u00a0at Disney.<\/p>\n

Though his time as a performer at the world renowned park will fulfill a lifelong dream, Kovach looks to other things for his ultimate career aspirations. He\u2019d like to become a physical therapist, specializing in pediatric athletes, so the experience of working with families will provide opportunities to engage with children in a special way\u2014the \u201cDisney way,\u201d Kovach said. \u201cThis happy place is a tangible location where people can come and forget about pettiness and let go of debilitating insignificant problems with work or silly arguments or all these tiny things that make our society so high strung and stressed out. Not everyone may believe in \u2018Disney magic\u2019 or \u2018pixie dust,\u2019 but you know the feeling when it hits you.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Kovach, spreading the \u201cmagic\u201d is enough to move to Orlando, Florida and spend his first few months as a college graduate entertaining the world with the sights and sounds of Disney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
