Meet Kristin

Why I love Messiah: I love the atmosphere and the people.  You won't find this type of community of people who genuinely care about each other the way everyone at Messiah does, from students to professors and staff, in very many places.

My friends would describe me as: Fun, outgoing and goofy.  I love to laugh and have a good time.  Life's better when you choose to enjoy it!

Favorite spot on Messiah’s campus: One of the rec sports fields.  I spent so much time at Ultimate Frisbee practice while a student at Messiah and now as a coach that many of my fondest Messiah memories are from those places and with those teams.

Favorite meal served in Lottie Nelson Dining: Popcorn Chicken Bowl or Garlic Parmesan Wings. Both are amazing!

Best place to visit around Messiah: Pizza Grille - it's a local specialty pizza shop with a great atmosphere, perfect for lunch with friends or a romantic dinner on a special occasion.

Hi!  Thanks so much for visiting Messiah's website!  I had such an amazing experience as a student at Messiah and now I love getting to show off our wonderful campus as much as possible! The best way to experience Messiah is by visiting! And I'd love to help set up any type of visit for you to begin to see what we all love about this place.

There are many opportunities that you (and your family) can take advantage of during a campus visit. You could come for an individual visit that would include a guided campus tour by a current Messiah student and a one-on-one admissions information session for you and your family with an admissions counselor. It might also include a chapel service, professor or coach meeting, and attending a class.  To top it all off, you get to experience the dining hall and our wonderful food as well!  You could also come for an Open House or even spend the night with a host student!

No matter what you choose, you will begin to see what's so special about Messiah. I'd be happy to help you decide what is the best option for you.  Every person is different, and if planning a visit to a college seems overwhelming to you, please just give me a call!  If you already have a date in mind, and enjoy the convenience of using our website, just click on the button to the right that says, "Visit Messiah!" and enter the choices for your visit.  Either way, we look forward to having you as our guest!
