Westminster Spotlights the Class of 2020 on Social Media

If you would have told me four years ago that I would be sitting at home for my last few months of college, I would have laughed and said, “No way!” Right now, I should be spending countless hours with my friends, playing my senior season of softball, attending campus events and preparing for my finals in the library. Instead, I am sitting at home surrounded by my loved ones, which is not a bad thing. But I also feel both like I am missing out and that a part of me is missing.

Westminster has become my home — my family — and I miss it greatly. While spending time in quarantine with my amazing support system, I am still receiving love, support and care from the Westminster community. As I make changes in my schedule and try to find a routine, I have had time to reflect on my years at Westminster and appreciate the experiences and memories this institution has provided.

In an effort to honor the Class of 2020, the Westminster marketing team will be posting “Senior Spotlights” on the College’s social media accounts through May 9, which was to be our graduation date before COVID-19. Senior accolades, campus involvement and favorite memories will be included. My Senior Spotlight is found here. Watch for more about the Class of 2020 in the next few weeks!
