Res Life at LCU with Hagen
Segment #1 from Lubbock Christian University
Transcript
Let’s hear from Hagen, a senior Exercise Sports Science major. LCU offers students a variety of residential living options, including a state-of-the-art residence hall, complete with a rooftop deck. Hagen, we’ll be quick to tell you, however, it’s the connected community within the residence halls that truly sets LCU apart. Hagen, you are up.
– Thanks for the intro, Alex. When I was searching for a college, Lubbock Christian University caught my attention, because of a track and field scholarship, but what I experienced once I arrived was so much more. I found a community of genuine people and authentic believers that welcomed me with open arms. While I came to LCU not quite knowing what to expect, I found myself getting involved in everything. I’ve competed as part of the track and field and cross country teams, rush to the social club, Alpha Chi where I got involved in intramurals and master follies and most impactfully became a part of the res life team as a resident assistant. I’m now the community advisor at Johnson Hall and I really enjoy getting to routinely check in with everyone in our residence hall. It gives me the chance to celebrate the great day they may have had or to be a listening ear when one of the guys has had a particularly challenging day and I’ve seen how a residence hall can create a space for students to thrive. Just the other day, we hosted an open mic night and we had a blast just hanging out and enjoying good music. Living in campus housing, perfectly represents LCU’s brand promise, we walk with you. It is a great environment for freshmen to be mentored as they learn to live independently from their parents and resident assistants are well trained to help students navigate the good and rough times, the campus community that exists in residential life is extremely important to the college experience. LCU strength lies in its caring community, they we’re genuinely kind people. I hope you’ll consider coming to be a part of this very special Christ-centered community. Thanks for visiting. Back to you Alex.
– What an amazing res life experience, Hagen, we love seeing the incredible opportunities for students to fully encounter college life, have fun, connect with the community, while maintaining a sense of home away from home. It sounds like the perfect college environment. Thank you for sharing your story.
