I have learned very much from my time at IWU. I am a Christian Worship major with an emphasis in Media, which basically means I'm training to become a media leader within the the Church. Many of my classes, especially Media Scriptwriting, Radio Production, Intro. to Worship, and many others have taught me a lot about producing media in the Christian world. Something specific that I've seen with my major and minor over my time here is the importance of communication. Worship as its core is the communication of the story of God to His people. With that same thought, I've learned to be purposeful and intentional in everything that I create, to craft my work so the message of God shines through with clarity and ultimately points back to Him. It's such a God thing I have learned this idea about communication and worship coming together like this.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
All in all, I do enjoy my time at Indiana Wesleyan. Some days are harder than others. Early classes are hard to wake up for sometimes, but the truth is every class is an opportunity to learn and grow that much more, so I do really love being at Indiana Wesleyan.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
By far, I would say the size of the university and how it opens for one-on-one support by our faculty is the most impressive, bang for the buck idea that Indiana Wesleyan brings to the table. I think having the ability to e-mail a professor with a question, set up a meeting and have coffee, or simply enjoy their company is very valuable. I remember when my advisor, Dr. Constance Cherry, emailed me to have coffee one day last semester. During that time, she simply encouraged me in what I was learning and said she saw so much in me as a student. You can never put a price on moments like that. Never.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would say to never go by the word of mouth of others. Many students will bash the university on its rules or give you horror stories on their experience here. My advice: SEE FOR YOURSELF. If you have a question about our school, don;t be afraid to ask it. If you're planning on coming here, spending the next four years of your life (and all the money) here, know what you're getting into. In short, be curious and ask questions.
