Brenda Wenger

I began working here at Hesston after receiving my associate of arts degree from Hesston College in 1979. I previously worked in what was known as the Student Services department (Admissions and Student Life combined). Since that time I have been a part of the Student Life department working as an administrative assistant.

My responsibilities as an administrative assistant within the department include providing assistance to the VP of Student Life/Dean of Students, as well as offering support when needed to the Campus Counselors, Campus Pastor, International Student Director and Residence Life staff. Various other responsibilities include: coordinating and assisting with departmental events related to student orientation, Opening Weekend activities and Thanksgiving activities; providing assistance with departmental budget; maintaining student health records; providing support to Parents Council, Mod Parents and the parent program; assisting with student housing; updating departmental materials through the summer, and participating in departmental planning and activities.

My husband, Dwayne, and I live in Hesston and have three children: twin sons who are graduates of Hesston College and are furthering their education and a daughter who is a senior in high school. I enjoy reading, and, as a family, we enjoy traveling, camping and going to bluegrass festivals. Through the years Hesston College remains to be a very positive place to work and experience growth within a nurturing community.
