"I literally could walk around and have a conversation about Christ with almost anyone on
campus, and that is such a special opportunity. Just being completely surrounded by people who
are likeminded and love Christ sets up such an awesome space to learn."
"I can go and visit with each of my professors, and they know me by name. Many of them have
mentored me throughout different stages of my walk through college. I am forever grateful for
them, and I will always remember the lessons and the wisdom they’ve brought to my life."
