WMU experiences give you the most opportunity for growth and allow you to make an impact on people’s lives. You build relationships that will truly become unforgettable; I know I will always hold them close to my heart.
What is the funniest thing you've witnessed at WMU?
O wow, there are so many. When I was an orientation leader I was giving a tour of campus and I was walking and talking and walked right into a chair cemented to the ground. My group laughed about it all day : ). I laughed so hard because it hurt so bad I wanted to cry.

I have had so many wonderful mentors here at WMU. Here are some that helped me grow: Dr. Summy, Dr. Whitten, Kristin Foust, Dr. Anderson and Jen Bailey.
