Favorite place on campus Wow, there are so many great places on campus - the little pond back in the woods for solitude, the Overlook for hot-drink chats, the Great Hall for noisy hanging out. But my favorite place is probably 3rd North. It's my home and the girls who live there with me are my family. I can come up after a miserable day and find life and happiness and comfort on the hall. We're a little too loud most of the time, but we never tire of being together! Honors received at
Covenant
Why did you choose Covenant?
How is Covenant unique?
What has been your favorite experience at Covenant? What is your favorite class? Dr. Bill Davis. I took Cultural Heritage of the West with him and was so impacted that I decided to become a philosophy minor. At first I was intimidated (but excited) to be in his class because he has such a reputation for academic rigor and for being fabulously intelligent (both are fair evaluations). But I was shocked to find that he was also one of the most amiable people on campus. I learned more in his class than in almost any other class that semester - he challenged us in what we thought we knew, forced us to articulate thoughts (both our own and others'), and invested in us as individuals. Through his instruction, he taught us to be rigorous thinkers; through his character, he showed us that intelligence and Christian love should go hand in hand.
What's your favorite part of the day?
What are your post-graduation plans? I hope to take a year or two off to travel, possibly with a journalism internship. After that, I'm considering law school and pursuing a career in human rights - specifically human trafficking and sex slavery. I'm interested especially in developing education and advocacy among church groups and businesses. I'd love to work with an organization like the International Justice Mission one day.
How do you think Covenant is preparing you for the future?
