Why did you choose to attend NCU:
I wanted a small Christian school that had opportunities to get involved and serve. I did not want to be another student ID number at a big school.

What's the most surprising thing about NCU:
The faculty. They go out of their way to encourage students and get involved in their lives. After transferring from a big community college I never thought teachers or faculty would actually want to get to know me.

What are you involved in on campus:
I have been on two missions trips, played bass in chapel, worked as basketball team manager, given campus tours and worked as an admissions assistant, I lead a small group, represented the school at a summer camp and Creation fest, and currently I am on the campus ministry team as the embracing the body coordinator, and I'll be a fish group leader.

Dr. Ron Heine

Favorite Class:
The Worshipping Community with Tim Miller or History of Theology with Dr. Heine.

Favorite Thing About Students and Faculty:

Advice for Incoming Students:
Find ways to get involved. College is a time to try new things: go volunteer, get a crazy job, talk to strangers, Pray bold prayers.

Greatest Life Accomplishment so Far:
I wouldn't consider it an accomplishment, but one of my favorite life moments was taking my guitar on a mission trip and leading my team in worship at a small church in Santiago Chile.
