Q&A with Ryan:
Where did you grow up?
Wheaton, IL
Where did you attend High School?
Wheaton North High School
Where did you go to college and what did you study?
I went to Gordon College where I studied Business Administration.
Where is the most unique place you have traveled?
During Spring Break Junior year, I had the opportunity to visit some of my Gordon friends studying in Seville, Spain. While we were there we were able to travel down south to Marbella and Malaga. Being able to experience different cultures like this was a very rewarding experience.
Which is your favorite beach in the Gordon area?
Definitely Wingaersheek in Gloucester. It is more unique than some of the other beaches in the area. It has a very drastic tide resulting in a large beach and a lot of tidal pools.
What is your favorite thing to do on Campus?
I love hiking through the Gordon Woods. I seem to find new trails and ponds every time I explore back there.
What was your favorite class you took at Gordon?
Organizational Behavior was great! It is very unique in the fact that it is for the most part self-taught by the students of the class as a whole. This class was extremely challenging. However, in return it taught me a lot about myself as well as how we as Human Beings interact with in work organizations.
Why was Gordon a good fit for you?
Attending a Christian school was something that was very important to me. It was also important that I found a school that allowed me to grow in my faith, in my personal life as well as academically. Gordon exceeded my expectations in all of these areas. The community created by my peers and professors helped me find out who I was and where I want to be in the future.
