Class of 2011
What’s your major? Why did you choose it?
Communication Arts and I have an A.A.A.S. in Aviation from Hesston College ('07). I chose my major because my father is in the radio business and I've always been interested in career paths that involve computers (airplanes, radio). Hopefully a COA bachelor degree will make my resume just that much more enticing to an aviation employer.
What brought you to Bethel?
I came to Bethel because I am still finishing my flight instructor certificate with Hesston College, but also because of the great community I sensed on my campus visit.
What activities have you been involved in?
Participated in 2007 C. Henry Smith Oratorical Contest, Collegian Staff Photographer, Radio (Two Streets Over, Tuesday Nights 8-10 pm), Ultimate Frisbee Club
How are you different now from when you first arrived on campus?
I'm three years older now than I was when I entered Christine Crouse-Dick's Media Analysis class for the first time that fall of 2007, but I've gained so much more knowledge than if I had ended my college time after Hesston.
For what are you most proud of Bethel?
I'm most proud of the highly trained staff and how they not only care about you inside the classroom, but outside as well.
How would you like to see Bethel change or improve in the next five years?
Because of my interest in aviation, a meteorology course would be very interesting to me.
What has been your favorite course so far, and why?
My favorite course has been Mennonite History, Life and Thought taught by Mark Jantzen. We talked about many of the places that I visited while living in Europe through the Intermenno Program and it's always a joy to learn more about the history of Mennonites.
Tell a quick story about a memorable moment from your Bethel days.
Last Thanksgiving, many Bethel alums and current students gathered in Wuppertal, Germany. The people came from as far away as Ireland to share a meal of two turkeys and homemade pies. Well over 25 people packed a former Bethel-Wuppertal exchange student's apartment. The conversation surrounding that table went through the weekend and it was such a joy to see so many people, seven time zones away from Kansas, who were all connected to Bethel in some way.
What does it mean to be a Thresher?
Being a Thresher means being a part of a very special and well-connected community. Everyone adds to this very giving place.
