Bio

Why Wittenberg?

My friend was going on a visit here and to participate in a volleyball camp and asked at the last minute if I wanted to join. I went and had such a great time and truly felt welcome by everyone I had met. I went on more visits throughout the year to different schools, and I was always disappointed in them and didn't know why until I realized I was comparing every other school to Witt! That's how I knew I was meant to be here and the people and volleyball team just enforced my decision.
