I cannot exaggerate the impact of the Honors College on my education. The students and faculty in this corner of Baylor are exceptional in their faith and scholarship. The University Scholars program allowed me to take courses in many different subject areas and explore the things I am passionate about. This program has truly changed me for the better.

I have been so deeply blessed by the Getterman Scholars Program, and now I can look towards the future with the knowledge and skills I have gained and seek to pay it forward. Being a Getterman allowed me to learn and grow in college, soaking in meaningful time with friends and mentors, without having to worry about the finances. This experience surpassed all my expectations.

If I could encourage incoming Gettermans it would be to choose a few groups or places to really pour into and invest in those things well. It is our job to be faithful in what the Lord puts before us, but He will bring the fruit at the right time and it will be beautiful fruit!

After graduation plans: Interning with Mission Waco for the summer and then heading abroad in the fall to teach English in Southeast African schools with a non-profit called Village Schools International.
