We heard from 91 of you who correctly found Menno Simons in the Fall/Winter 2022 issue on page 27. He was sitting on top of a heap of rubble and helping Mennonite Disaster Service with the demolition of the existing interior of the second and third floors of Westlawn Hall in preparation for renovations into new, state-of-the-art nursing and public health learning spaces.

Congrats to the five lucky winners who were chosen at random to receive limited-edition Goshen College T-shirts:
