Her Thoughts

  • "I had attended several youth camps at George Fox when I was younger and a close friend is a recent graduate, so I had heard lots of good things about George Fox and had even gotten to experience it a little myself. After a couple of visits, I knew that George Fox would provide a quality education and give me opportunities to deepen my relationship with Christ. After meeting my potential teammates and peers, as well as many of my professors and coaches, I was sure that George Fox was the right place for me."
