Student of the Month – Kalyn Behnke

April 22, 2015

Kalyn Behnke

M.A. Political Science: Area of focus: American Politics

Why did you choose to go to ASU?  Because of Barrett Honor’s College, and I know some of the professors and their expertise in American history.

Why did you choose your major?  I’ve had a passion for politics and American history since 6th grade.

What are your plans after Graduation?  I have been  accepted to ASU’s law school with scholarship for this fall!!!

How did you hear about LCM?  I saw a news article about the fight for marriage equality in Arizona,            particularly the court case featuring ULC members Shawn Aiken, Joe Connolly, and Terry Pochert.  The article    mentioned the LCM community and I thought I’d see what you were about.

Why did you start coming to LCM?  I wanted a       welcoming community that stayed consistent and        compassionate in their faith and is welcoming and open to others.  I tried a few others but didn’t find this until LCM.

What is your favorite thing about LCM?  That students are able to actively participate in worship services.

What role has LCM played in your college life?  Its  definitely been a hobby; it keeps me busy and has been an anchor point during my week.

What is an interesting fact(s) about yourself?  My favorite thing to do is collect books,            especially antiquarian books; I have over 200.  I have had my hair 2 1/2 ft long since grade school.

What are some hobbies/things you like to do?  Photography, collect pennies, practice yoga.

If you had a magic carpet that could take you to any location at any time in history, where/when would you go, what would you do, and why?  I would go to March 4, 1865.  On this day Abe Lincoln gave his second inaugural address—I wish to hear it in person.
