Why CU? College Union is the organization most responsible for shaping the culture of Wheaton’s campus. The opportunity to make a positive impact on the entire Wheaton community and get hands-on experience shaping culture at the same time is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
About me: I grew up in Chicago after my family moved from Wheaton to participate in a church plant. Both of my parents, my aunt and uncle and all four of my cousins attended Wheaton, so I am part of a considerable legacy. My greatest passion is business, particularly internet entrepreneurship.
What’s your favorite place on campus to connect with friends? Lower Beamer
How would you describe the dinner hour in Anderson Commons to someone outside of the Wheaton Community? Awesome. We have amazing food and incredible people.
If you had to perform in the Talent Show what would your act be and who would be in it? I’d probably do some type of lip sync performance with people from my floor.
Favorite CU event? Class Films. I love anything that focuses the efforts of passionate people on creating something from the ground up.
How has the community at Wheaton impacted you? It’s showed me how relationships can be both comforting and challenging. I’m at home with my friends, but they also force me to keep growing.
