My time at Wittenberg was an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to work with some incredible people, like Pam Reisner in the Math Workshop and Dean Richard Scott.
I was also able to take some great classes with professors like Doug Andrews, Lawrence Gwynn, and John Young. These professors had a significant impact on my studies and helped me to grow as a person. I learned how to balance fun with getting work done and how to turn my academic interests into possible career paths.
My math major was a great foundation for my career, and my liberal arts background helped me to communicate complex mathematical analysis to a variety of audiences. I'm grateful for the beautiful campus, the fun times, and the nurturing environment. I'm also thankful for the sorority I joined, Delta Sigma Theta, and the Shifters around campus.

I was pleasantly surprised when I went to 麻豆传媒色情片. I didn't expect to find a divinity school there, but I was delighted to find one.
It was a great opportunity to learn more about Christianity, the Old Testament, the New Testament, and other religions. The school had excellent speakers who were knowledgeable about religious matters.
I was pleased with the Christian atmosphere of the school, and it helped to ground me in a way that I may not have experienced if I had gone to a different school.

My time at Wittenberg was invaluable. Coming from a small high school, the small college atmosphere was perfect for me. The professors were personable and helpful, especially in the music department.
I remember all the hills I had to climb to get to class and working in the dining hall. It was exciting to be part of the first music recital in the newly built Krieg Hall. I was also involved in Delta Zeta and Chapel Choir, which sang every Sunday. I didn't have the opportunity to study abroad, but I made some great friends and experienced a lot of new things.
I grew and changed as a person during my time there, becoming more serious about my future. I developed a strong connection with my faith and spirituality. My favorite moment was playing my junior recital in Krieg Hall with my piano teacher, my mother, and my father in attendance.

The diversity and overwhelmingly warm, comfortable, and accepted presence that you feel when you're on campus has given me confidence and the ability to know who I am as a person and understand my capabilities, as I am constantly striving to do better for humanity as a whole.
I was exposed to different cultures, ideas, and ways of life. Being exposed to that and developing relationships with other people who think differently and grew up differently is a blessing. You gain so much from having all those different perspectives.
I really enjoyed all of my experiences with the professors, and they treated you like an adult. They understood that you were there to learn, and they were your guide. If you had a question or a concern, you could go speak to a professor, and you were treated like you were part of the family. That's what is enjoyable about going back as an alumnus. It's just like you've never left.
