Graduate Profile
Rev. Barbara Phillips Pekich
Graduation: 1972
Major: Political Science
Rev. Barbara Phillips Pekich didn’t major in religious studies at Alma because there were no opportunities for women ministers.
But things began to change. Graduating from Western Theological Seminary in Holland in 1992, Pekich could no longer deny that the ministry had been calling to her.
