Hometown
Sioux Center, IA

Favorite class taken at Covenant

Organic Chemistry I with Dr. Zuidema. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had, and I learned loads about molecules and how they interact.

What the residents on my hall can expect

To be part of a unique community of brothers in Christ. There will be intensely serious times and intensely not serious times. Hopefully, you can expect a home away from home.

What I'm all about

Physical activity, reading a good book, fascinating conversation, and looking forward to the return of the King.

An exciting year, active hall life, and great times of growing in faith all of which they will take with them into the future.

Hanging out with friends, watching movies, playing sports, anything outdoors, and glorifying God.

English and Education

Hometown

St. Louis, MO

Favorite class taken at Covenant

Intermediate New Testament Greek with Dr. McDougall. We spent the semester translating the gospel of Mark. It really opened up my understanding of the scripture and helped me develop a love for the language.

What the residents on my hall can expect

The Fritz is a family. Expect to meet some people who will love you, encourage you and just want to have fun.

What I'm all about

Hands-on things: baking, knitting, sewing, any sort of craft. I also love to read just about anything and I’m a huge Harry Potter fan.

Elementary Education major, music minor

Hometown

Banger, PA

Favorite class taken at Covenant

Kiddie Lit with Dr. Pennington because she is so passionate about the subject and because I learned so much about children and children’s literature. And we got to read forty kids’ books! Who wouldn’t want to do that?

What the residents on my hall can expect

To grow in their relationship with each other and with God. They can expect midnight conversations while drinking good tea. They can expect random music sessions and coffee runs to Pasha.

What I'm all about

Chai tea, guitar, the beach, City Café, family, Scrabble, sun dresses, camping, dance parties, my fish Clementine, Greek mythology, reading, and “The Phantom of the Opera.”

Favorite class taken at Covenant

I loved Old Testament with Dr. Jones. He is a fabulous professor, and he made me look at the Bible in a whole new way.

What the residents on my hall can expect

To be a part of an extremely enthusiastic, loving, and welcoming family. We are going to a lot of fun and grow closer to each other and Christ throughout the year.

What I'm all about

Having a lot of fun and enjoying life. I love playing basketball and pretty much every other sport, and I love just hanging out with my friends and hall mates.

Elementary Education major, Music minor

Hometown

Satellite Beach, FL

Favorite class taken at Covenant

Teaching in a Pluralistic Society with Dr. Haddad. This class opened my eyes to other perspectives and made me more sensitive to others.

What the residents on my hall can expect

I hope that Ruhama will be a place where girls can be honest and really grow in deep friendships and ultimately in their relationship with Christ. I hope that there will be many spontaneous dance parties and lots of laughter. There will be struggles and that is certain, but I hope that Ruhama will be a safe place to call home.

What I'm all about

I am all about the grace of God and the unconditional love and security we have in Jesus Christ. I am also all about old friends, new friends, good food, laughter, chick-flicks, climbing, singing, playing, surfing, talking all night, and sometimes studying.
