Jake Roselius – Student of the Month
Freshman, Interdisciplinary Studies Major: International Business and European Union Studies
Why did you choose your major? I really like traveling and experiencing other cultures and that major would allow me to do that.
Why did you choose ASU? I really enjoyed the variety of selections for majors. ASU has a Public Service Academy; within this Academy is a program called the Next Generation Service Corps. This is a four-year leadership building program where you work with business, non-profits, and governments towards a positive community impact.
Why did you first start coming to LCM? I was looking for a church to become involved with. My parents saw LCM and thought it would be a good fit. I tried it and really liked it after the first service.
How has LCM impacted your college life? It has given me a home within ASU and helped ease the transition by providing me with a really good support network.
What is your favorite thing about LCM? The Bible Studies!
What are your Hobbies? I play tennis. I love to travel and learn about other cultures and languages.
What are some facts about yourself? I’m from Alaska! I have traveled to 7 countries: Mexico, England, Spain, Austria, United Arab Emirates (Dubai), Germany, and Belgium.
If you had a magic carpet that could take you to any location at any time, where/when would you go, what would you do, and why? I can’t decide between two: California in the future (I’d like to see the innovations that Silicon Valley will have developed) or Germany now (to see the green, the wind power, the schnitzel, just to go back [He loves Germany!])
Student of the Month – Christian Benell
Arts Major, Elementary Education Minor
Why did you choose ASU? I love the environment of ASU. I visited other Arizona schools, but at ASU I felt a connection that I didn’t feel elsewhere.
Why did you choose to major in Art? I love it. Art is what I do; it brings me joy. Some people love to read, I love to paint. I paint because it’s a part of who I am.
How many years have you been at LCM? 2
What is your favorite thing about LCM? The community. I feel like I could talk to anyone about any problems I’m having.
How has LCM affected your college career? Knowing that LCM will always be there for me through whatever.
What are some of your hobbies? Read (Faulkner, Shakespeare, Harry Potter), write poetry and stories, draw.
If you had a magic carpet that could take you anywhere at any time, where/when would you go, what would you do, and why? I would go to the Middle East and meet Jesus and His disciples.
Student of the Month – Jeffrey Hack
Freshman, Film Practices Major
Why did you choose ASU? It was close to home.
Why did you choose to major in Film Practices? I made YouTube videos during my senior year of high school and I really liked the editing process. I was involved in theatre in High School and like acting.
What are your future plans after graduation? I want to make a music EP (short for extended play, an EP is a musical recording that contains more music that a single, but is shorter than the average full studio album).
Why did you start coming to LCM? I attended and worked at Campformation and knew people through that who came to LCM.
What is your favorite thing about LCM? It feels like family; LCM is very open and welcoming.
What are your hobbies? I play guitar, sing, act, skateboard, dance like an idiot. I am part of the Worship team at LCM and my home church. I practice parkour.
What are some interesting facts about yourself? I can juggle! I can perform backflips off of palm trees (except for once when I slipped and scarred my face).
If you had a magic carpet that could take you to any location at any time, where/when would you go, what would you do, and why? I would go back to when my parents met & observe how they got together.
