What differentiates Concordia University Chicago from other universities? CUC cares about providing a personalized, welcoming experience to each student throughout their time on campus. From the mission to the faculty, staff, and students, everything reflects a consistent focus on developing the whole person and caring for one another in a Christ-centered environment.

Favorite season? Fall! I love the weather. The temperature is perfect for a hoodie and sweatpants, the air smells fresh, and the changing leaves are beautiful. It's also the season for Thanksgiving and my birthday. Controversially, I start watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music in November, especially once 93.9 makes its annual shift to Chicago's Christmas station.

What is your best advice for a successful college search? Visit! Spend time determining what's important to you. Every school is different, and only you can decide which factors matter most. The best way to figure that out is by visiting different schools!

Name three of your favorite movies: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Ron's Gone Wrong, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Favorite hobby? LEGOs! I've been building them for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite sets include the Disney Castle, the Emperor's Throne Room Smart Brick set, and my LEGO City sets from 15–20 years ago.
