你是怎么听说威尼斯人平台的？为什么选择威尼斯人平台？
我的两个姐姐去了威尼斯人平台，所以我才知道它。 Covenant was one of the schools that I initially applied to, but I ended up choosing to go to another school. In the weeks leading up to going, I was starting to not feel so great about my decision. But then, through bizarre, providential circumstances, I ended up dropping out the day before I was supposed to move in! I took a gap year, came to Covenant the following fall, and the Lord has made it abundantly clear, since then, that this was where I was supposed to be.
你最喜欢圣约的哪一方面？
我喜欢威尼斯人平台给人的那种熟悉感，就好像它是一个小镇，或者一个社区。 It feels like an easy place to make far-reaching community because of how interconnected it is. 这里的社区是有意的，有一颗寻求耶稣的心。
教授和/或学者对你影响最大的是什么？
我的指导老师是Weichbrodt博士，这里的艺术史教授。 We talk a lot about what I could do after college, but I'm still not sure what direction I want to start heading down. She once said to me, "Laura, I care a lot more about art history making you more tender as a person than what you do with your degree after college." That meant a lot to me and really displayed how the faculty at Covenant care about their students holistically. They care deeply about how your time at Covenant is not just preparing you to enter the workforce, but also how it's equipping you to serve the Church and shaping your walk with the Lord.
你最喜欢你专业的哪一部分，或者觉得你准备得最充分？
The part of my major that I most enjoy is being introduced to art that I've never seen before. I've found that my margin of interest for art history keeps expanding, and things that were not interesting to me before are now some of my favorite topics to study.
What do you hope to pursue after Covenant and how do you see Covenant supporting your future career or calling?
I'm not sure yet what I want to pursue after Covenant, but one of the amazing things about a liberal arts education is that it allows you to see how the skills that you build in your major can be utilized in several different fields and career paths.
How is Covenant equipping you for active membership in the church or discipleship within the body of Christ?
I actually became a member of my church, Grace Community Trenton, during my sophomore year. This was the first time I had become a member of any church that I've regularly attended. During my time at Covenant, I've learned a lot about what it means to be involved in a church, and to have that kind of accountability. Because the Chattanooga area has so many great church options, I've learned more about what is really important to me when it comes to joining a church, which will help me be more thoughtful in the future.
《圣约》在哪些方面促进了你的属灵培育？
One of the ways that Covenant fosters spiritual formation that has had the most impact on me is really just the environment of intentional faith that is on campus and among students. People's regularity in talking about their faith and their commitment to Scripture has helped me grow tremendously in my own walk with the Lord.
圣约社区是如何支持你成长为一个完整的人的？
I think that the community at Covenant, especially my friends, advisors, and bosses, have helped me see how the academic, spiritual, emotional, and professionally developmental elements of my time here can all be connected. I don't have to be thinking about all these things in separate spheres and can integrate each element into the other because it will make my experience of all these things more rich.
How have your relationships at Covenant shaped your expectations for the other communities God will call you to in life?
I think that what's really unique about the Covenant community is that it's formed both organically and with intention. It increases my desire to continue having a far-reaching community during other times in my life, where the community I'm in—particularly the church community—is putting in the effort to stay connected.
你在圣威尼斯人平台最美好的记忆是什么？
One of my favorite memories from Covenant is a conversation I had with a dear friend of mine in the Great Hall. We were just talking about where we were in our walks with the Lord, but this was the first conversation I had ever had about faith with a friend, even though I had gone to a Christian school my whole life. That conversation enabled me to have conversations about faith with other people and become more comfortable doing so.
