My name is Roxanne Konkel, I am 19 years old from Kingston, Wisconsin. I am planning on becoming a Director of Christian Education with minors in music and psychology. When I get done with school, I know I want to work in a church I just haven't decided what I want to specialize in, my main desire is just to help those who can't help themselves. Along with my classes I am involved with Concordia Mission Society, Pep Band, Choir, FISH prayer teams, and serve as the honors Peer Adviser for incoming freshmen. I also work for Admissions and the IT Department. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and talking with you about the honors program which has made an impact on my life. |

My name is Greta Schulz. I am a pastor's kid, so I have lived all over the United States. Most currently my family lives in Tallahassee, FL. I am a second year student in the Alpha Honors class. I have felt God's calling on my life to reach out to those in need, so I am majoring in Director of Christian Outreach with minors in Theatre and Music. I hope that maybe someday I'll do international drama ministry or missionary work.

My name is Shane Acers. I am a DCO major. I am in my second year as an honors student and involved with choir and FISH on campus. Things I like: people, basketball, guitar, FOOD, and people……and food. There's other stuff I'm sure, but pretty much all you need to know is that I love Jesus.

Hi, My Name is Rachel Winter and I am majoring in Elementary Education with a specialty in Early Childhood (Pre-K to 6th grade). I am also minoring in confessional Lutheranism so that I can teach in a Lutheran School. I love kids to death and I am really excited to get to work with them. I am a sophomore, and hoping that I will not need to be a super senior. I am 19 years old, but soon to be 20. My home town is Hamburg, MN, but my parents both work at my home church in Norwood Young America. My mom is in a pre-school teacher, and my dad is the head pastor at our church. I come from a huge family and wouldn't change it for anything. My faith is the most important factor in my life, and I hope that I live my life so that Jesus is shown through me. The Bible verse that I have been using lately is Colossians 2:2-3, "My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have full riches of complete understanding in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." |

Hey there! Currently, I'm 19 years old and from the good ole town of Buffalo MN (it's about an hour west of here). As a sophomore, I'm planning to major as a Director of Christian Outreach with a double minor in music and theater. With my education I plan on going into mission work. After two years of the Honors program, I have narrowed my focus to stay here in the states and work with non-profit organizations that deal specifically with poverty and marginalization. I have really enjoyed this program and found it incredibly helpful and educational; I strongly encourage you to check it out! |

My name is Ryan Marshall and I’m from Laurel, Montana. I’m 19 years old, a freshman this year, and went to school in Concordia Missouri at St. Paul Lutheran High School, the boarding school there. I’m engaged and plan on getting married in May. I’m majoring in psychology and would like to be a counselor some day. I also enjoy strawberry virgin drinks. |

My name is Bethany Wilcke and I am 19 years old from Battle Creek, Iowa. I’m in my second year at Concordia, majoring as a Director of Christian Outreach with music and theatre minors. I’m planning right now on doing 4-5 years of missionary work right after graduation and then coming back to the U.S. I would love to work with children or high school/college age youth in drama/music ministry and am hoping to help raise the awareness of poverty in the church. I’m involved in choir, theatre, FISH prayer teams, and have two jobs here on campus—one for the admissions office and the other working for Dr. Schuler as a helper with Honors recruiting. I’m sure I’ll get the chance to correspond either directly or indirectly with many if not all of you and I look forward to meeting you all. |

My full name is Nikolai Gibbons, but most people just refer to me as Niko. A little background about myself; I was born and raised in Fort Collins, CO. After I graduated high school in 2006 I applied to Concordia, but instead went to Colorado State University for the Computer Engineering program. A month later I realized my mistake, dropped out, and came to Concordia the next year, so that makes me a 19 year old freshman. I'm in the Pre-Seminary program and I plan on doing missionary work after the seminary. I chose to be in the honors program due to its focus on global studies and working with the marginalized, which parallels the focus for my career. |

My name is Lisa. I am a nineteen year old sophomore and a psychology major. I was born in Saint Paul, though I have lived in St. Catherine's, Ontario; Regina, Saskatchawan and Gardnerville, Nevada. I think that reading is one of the best things to do and greatly expands the mind. Along with the Honors Program, I am involved in the Psychology club on campus. |

My name is Christine Mennicke, and I'm 18 years old and a freshman in the Honors Program (class Beta). I'm planning on majoring in math and biology, but I am strongly interested in archaeology and astronomy as well. I plan, therefore, on hopefully participating in the summer dig in Israel one year. Besides being in math and science, I also love music and theater--I'm in choir here at Concordia and am also in the production of Into the Woods. In my free time (what free time...) I love to read, do crafts, and bike. |

My name is Matt Hewitt. I am a second/third year theology major with an emphasis in Biblical Languages and Christian outreach. I am 20 years old and I would like to go to seminary after Concordia. I would like to work in the pastoral office at some point doing outreach. |

My name is Katie Benke and I am a sophunior (pronounced So-foon-yure) here at Concordia (thanks to PSEO credits I'm balancing between Sophomore and Junior credit status). It's hard to say exactly where I'm from, but the general Midwest seems to be a fitting description. I am currently majoring in Communications and minoring in History, Music, Biology, and possibly Business (my minors and majors are subject to change on a weekly basis). I love sports, singing, rain, playing sports while singing during a rain storm, and having fun with friends (who also may be found singing and playing in the rain with me). I have a passion for serving others and I am known to give out water bottles on a daily basis as the Concordia Football Manager. I hope to make a difference in the world someday and touch lives, in what way we shall see... |

Hello! My name is Joanna Gimbel, but you can call me Jo. I'm a 19-year-old sophomore here at CSP, and I am a theatre major with a Lutheran confessional minor. My life plan is somewhat complicated. I would like to be a medical missionary, going to Africa after I obtain my registered nursing license and witnessing to the people in Africa through the friendships that I make. I will then probably come back to America and either work as a nurse or teaching biology and theatre to kids in schools or high schools. I love traveling and being with my family. I enjoy watching movies, reading books, and hanging with my friends in my spare time. Please feel free to ask me any questions about Honors or life at Concordia! |

Hey! My name is Amanda Snyder and I am a sophomore theatre and history major from West Point, Nebraska. I am 19 years old and the Honors Program has taught me a lot about where I am going in my life and what path God has planned for me. It has been a great way for me to complete my general education credits so I can focus more on my major classes. Right now, after graduation, I am looking at joining an organization like the Peace Corps but I also want to pursue professional theatre and work in historical reenactment areas. |
