Your Ideas
Send your ideas for a great campus activity to Emily Miller and Rob Ramseyer, campus activities directors. Submissions can be as simple as, “I’d like to go bowling sometime soon,” or with more detail, like, “I think we should commemorate Hesston College’s history with a costume party. It could all take place in BSC with prizes for best costume (prize–dinner for two catered by a prof), most historically accurate (leftovers from the dinner for two), and wildest get-up (a pair of flip flops and an HC sweatshirt).”
Clubs
Hesston College offers a variety of clubs for campus community participation:
Baking Club
Baking Club is all about food and fellowship. All cooking abilities and new recipes welcome. And guys, it is not only the women who bake. We meet once a month on a Sunday afternoon in the Hesston Mennonite Church kitchen. Everything we make is divided between students to be taken back to the mods for sharing. Kayla Kuhns is club president this year and can answer questions or let you know when the club is baking. Or, stop by and visit with one of the club sponsors–Becky Mason, Sharon Stutzman, DaLonna Schroeder. Come join the best smelling club on campus!
Discussion Group
The group meets regularly for stimulating discussion. London Smith, student leader. Marion Bontrager and Lindsey Mason, sponsors.
Euchre Club
The Euchre Club meets once a month either in the Larks Nest or at Don and Rachel Horst’s house to play Euchre (a four-player card game). We will meet from 7 to 8 in the evening on the first Thursday of every month. There will also be snacks provided to munch on while playing the game and chatting with one another. Kenny Graber and Krista Rittenhouse, student leaders. Rachel Horst, sponsor.
Golf Club
Students may pay $70 or have that placed on their accounts by the business office and then they have free golf Monday through Friday (no weekends), plus a free small bucket of balls to practice with every day. The deal is good through fall semester and possibly spring semester. Dan Harrison and Shane Miller, sponsors.
Grill Club
Lean about grilling different types of food and enjoy fellowship together while sampling the amazing food. The grill club also host fund-raisers at the soccer and baseball games. Jim Mason, sponsor
