Why I got involved with Chapel: I got involved with Chapel because it is an exciting and active component of Alma College.

Why I applied to be a SMC: I applied for the SMC position because I saw an opportunity to gain responsibility for, and serve the Chapel, a place that is very important to my college life.

What I like most about being a SMC: My favorite part of Chapel and being a SMC is the feeling I get when the preparation that went into the service results in a meaningful and enjoyable experience for the students.

What I have learned from being involved with Chapel: The biggest thing I have learned so far is just how large the body of Christ here at Alma College is; it is really uplifting to see so many people on campus who love Christ. I would also encourage others to attend Chapel because it is an opportunity to become a member of a loving and fun community.

Hobbies and activities: I enjoy playing French horn in the band and orchestra, watching sports, and exercising.

Graduation: 2006

Because I was game to do anything to get involved with the theatre department, I took it. I got to see what life was like on the other side: building sets, attending light hangs and focus, running the business backstage.”
