Why do you love Concordia? I love that there’s a unique personality to the campus, and I think it’s because the people on campus are unique. I love the professors. I have had professors that have literally changed my life. I came to college a different person than I am now, and that’s why I love Concordia. It’s changed me for the better, and I can’t help but be happy here.
How has the Presidential Scholarship benefited you? It’s such a blessing to not have to worry about finances in college, and that’s a huge part of college. I’ve had no hindrances as far as finances go because of that scholarship, and that’s irreplaceable.
