Which WLC faculty or staff member has made the greatest impact on you? Suzanne Otto, a counselor in the Student Success Center, has always been there for me. She also prepared me to be a successful student-athlete.
What is one piece of advice you would give to your freshman self? Don't look back on what could have happened or what you could have done differently. Just put your trust in the Lord; that’s all that matters.
Which WLC class would you like to take again? I would retake any theology class, because I was always interested in learning about the Bible but was never exposed to it in my past.
Which WLC faculty or staff member has made the greatest impact on you? Honestly, I would not be able to pick just one. All of the faculty and staff members who I have had the pleasure of working with have helped me grow in my faith, leadership, and education.
ALYSSA CHARRON ’21
RANDY JOHNSON JR. ’21
Appleton, WI Women’s Volleyball Secondary Education and Broadfield Social Sciences
Milwaukee, WI Basketball Psychology
Which WLC faculty or staff member has made the greatest impact on you? Jenilee Voss, my head coach, has taught me leadership and the importance of being on a team. She has modeled servant leadership and continues to be a positive Christian role model in my life.
What is one piece of advice you would give to your freshman self? To be yourself and not to try to be something you're not. Being authentic is the key to success and to put God before yourself and everything else.
Which WLC class would you like to take again? I would retake American Popular Music. Prof. Jeremy Zima ’07 [assistant professor of music] makes the history of music come to life, and there was never a dull class.
Which WLC faculty or staff member has made the greatest impact on you? If it weren’t for Prof. Laura Reinke [adjunct instructor of psychology], I wouldn't be a psychology major. She helped me find what I was passionate about and could apply to future job opportunities. I truly am appreciative of all she has done for me.
