Rebecca Rosenbarker - Admissions Counselor

Hello!  Thanks for taking the time to check out our website!  I’m glad you are interested in Messiah, and I’m happy to help with questions you may have about the college search and admissions process.  My name is Rebecca Rosenbarker, and I’m excited to be working with students from the central Pennsylvania region.

I graduated from Messiah in 2011 with a degree in French with teaching certification and a minor in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) with certification.  I was initially drawn to Messiah due to the interest in educating and nurturing students not only academically, but also spiritually and socially.  In my four years here, I was involved many different clubs and organizations, including Residence Life, Wind Ensemble, Concert Choir, the Collaboratory, a traveling summer music ministry team, and the NCAA Division III Swim Team.  I also had the privilege of studying in Strasbourg, France and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania through the Intercultural Office.  Before coming back to Messiah in this field, I lived and worked in a small Amazonian village in French Guiana.  Returning to campus has reminded me the extent to which my professors and peers at Messiah encouraged and supported me as I grew in my faith, and challenged me to explore God’s purpose for my life.

Having been there myself not too long ago, I understand that the college search process can feel overwhelming, but all of the admissions counselors here are available to make it seems less daunting.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have.  My email in rrosenbarker@messiah.edu and our phone number is 1-800-233-4220.
