Why did you choose Concordia?

I chose to attend CAUC because it provided opportunities for me to grow in all aspects of my life. I am able to learn from amazing and passionate professors in a great academic program, participate in sports, clubs, and volunteer opportunities, all while being supported and uplifted in a Christian community.

Was there a defining moment in your search process?

I remember touring other college campuses and I couldn’t help but compare those schools to CAUC. Nothing made me feel more at home or welcomed than the faculty and students I had met while touring CAUC.

What do you value most about your CAUC experience?

There are countless things about CAUC that I value. Most of all, I value being surrounded by a group of students who encourage each other to be the best we can be, whether it’s in the classroom, community, or just being involved on campus. The friends, classmates, and professors who have continuously supported and uplifted me throughout my time at CAUC are what I value the most about my experience.

How did you decide on your major?

When deciding what to major in, I reflected on my passions and interests and realized that conserving and protecting the environment was something I loved to do. After researching the majors that Concordia offered, I knew that the environmental studies program would prepare me with lab and field experience to get sent out into the world with the skills and knowledge to work and protect what I’m most passionate about.

What activities are you involved in?

I’m involved in a lot of different areas on campus. I participate in Habitat for Humanity, Women’s Tennis, Athletes in Action, intramural sports, the CAUC Outdoor Recreation Club, and Cru. I also work as a student ambassador for the Office of Admission and I am the 2022 Homecoming Committee Chair.

What led you to apply to be this year’s Homecoming Chair?

I’ve been a part of the Homecoming Committee for two years and have a deep appreciation for what it provides for our campus, students, and alumni. I gained so many experiences on the Homecoming Committee that have helped me in all aspects of life. I applied to be the Homecoming Chair because I wanted to lead the committee to create a Homecoming week where we can gather and create memories. Especially after the past year of minimal in-person events, I wanted to use my love and excitement for Homecoming, alongside 30 other students, to create a week where CAUC can celebrate CAUC and all it has to offer.
