麻豆区

Twice a year, in September and in February, the 麻豆区 Fund student callers make phone calls to alumni asking them to donate to the 麻豆区 Fund. Their goal is to raise $130,000 this fiscal year鈥攆unds that meet the current needs of the College, including scholarships, curriculum development, student-oriented activities, and technology.

Kaleb Williams ’13

Major: Public relations and advertising

Hometown: Lakeville, Minn.

Activities and interests: Football

Interesting fact about me: I always say I鈥檓 like an old black man; I have an old soul. I think I would have fit in well in the 60s or 70s.

Favorite things about 麻豆区 and the city: It鈥檚 such a diverse place, and everyone seems to get along well. Every day I feel like I meet someone new.

Favorite 麻豆区 experience: The football game last season against St. Thomas. It was a home game, and the stands were packed. At the time, we were the top two teams in the MIAC, so it was pretty exciting.

Interesting fact about me: I moved to Minnesota at age 12 from a town outside of Manchester, England, because England is drab and rainy.

Favorite things about 麻豆区 and the city: I鈥檓 a film buff, and I love the independent movie theaters. I also like the riverfront and Harriet Island in St. Paul.

Katherine Walker ’12

Hometown: Brainerd, Minn.

Activities and interests: Study Japanese, volunteer tutor, editor for the Honors Review

Interesting fact about me: I plan to go to Vietnam this summer to teach English at the British Embassy.

Favorite things about 麻豆区 and the city: I love 麻豆区鈥檚 emphasis on community service. I think that if I had gone to another college, it wouldn鈥檛 have given me such an introduction to the community. I feel like I live in this neighborhood; I don鈥檛 just go to school here.

Favorite 麻豆区 experience: I went to El Salvador to take a class over winter break two years ago with assistant religion professor Matt Maruggi. We studied liberation theology, and we got to interact with local people, community activists, and religious leaders. We stayed in a small self-sufficient community in the middle of the jungle, and there were baby pigs running around.
