EASTON, MA (05/24/2011)(readMedia)-- Accord native Tyler Hebert received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree from Stonehill College in Easton, MA at its 60th Commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 22. Hebert was the highest-ranking graduate in Business Administration, graduating with Summa Cum Laude honors.

Just the second student-athlete in school history to earn a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, Hebert was one of the most rounded members of the senior class as he was named a "renaissance man" by the Boston Globe. As the Globe noted, he could become a big shot on Wall Street, a hip-hop artist, an economist, or a mover and shaker in Washington.

During the Summer of 2008, Hebert worked for Brown Brothers Harriman, the oldest and largest private bank in America, as a securities lending risk analyst intern. The following Summer, he was a venture capital financial analyst intern at Cambridge-based General Catalyst Partners. Last Spring, Hebert called Washington, D.C. his home for five months when he interned at the Pentagon for the Command and Installation Program Analysis Division. There he helped analyze the needs of the United States Army for 2012-2017, working directly for Deputy Chief of Staff Tom Watson. Last summer landed Hebert in San Jose, California working for PayPal, whose president Scott Thompson is a 1979 alumnus, as a global financial planning and analyst intern.

Hebert balanced a demanding academic program with an equally challenging schedule as a student-athlete. A four-year letter winner on the men's soccer team, he played in 58 games. In addition, he dedicated time to his music and, to date, has written over 100 hip-hop songs.

Hebert will return to PayPal in San Jose, this time as a full-time employee for the Financial Planning and Analyst Division. He intends to use his NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship in two to three years to study at Stanford University.
