Favorite place on campus
The psychology commons. It feels like home. It smells like coffee; there are comfortable couches and nice people; and it’s a good place to study. I love it.

 

What do you like about Covenant?
I like the environment, the healthy relationships that people want to build with one another.

 

What has been your favorite experience at Covenant?
That’s so hard to say because the whole experience has been great. I would probably say LAUNCH06, new student orientation. The whole week was designed to prepare the freshman class for college life. I thought it was really nice to give us confidence to start the year.

 

What is your favorite class?
Psychology. It demonstrates how much I need to learn, and it gets more and more interesting with each class.

 

What person at Covenant has had the greatest impact on you?
I am impressed with the whole Covenant College body of professors, and the relationships they have with us. I feel that they care about us. I have also been very impressed with President Nielson’s humility, his sense of humor, and his ability to be personal with us.

 

What are your post-graduation plans?
Going to graduate school for psychology.

 

How do you think Covenant is preparing you for the future?
I think that Covenant is giving me what I have been looking for. Covenant is making sure I get a good education, strengthening my principles, pushing me closer to God every time I feel discouraged, and helping me to be more humanitarian. This education motivates me to keep working hard, holding God’s hand. If I have perseverance, and God is with me, then my future is on a good path toward success.
