Success Stories - Angela Swartzendruber

At Hesston, I met so many friends, professors, and staff who viewed service as an integral part of their faith. I know this helped to plant the seed for what I am doing today.
   Currently, I am serving under Mennonite Voluntary Service in Dallas, Texas. I am volunteering as a social worker for AIDS/HIV+ clients, a wonderful challenge that grew from a desire to serve others as I had heard so many people talk about at Hesston.
   Choosing a college where faith, learning, and service are emphasized, along with a strong sense of community, has been so meaningful to me. I believe that Hesston provided me with the foundational skills, direction, and support to go anywhere and for this, I am truly thankful.
