Favorite aspect of WCC?

This school possesses a unique and vibrant culture. We sing folk songs around fires, have jazz nights, ride horses, climb mountains, and are steeped in poetics, philosophy, theology, literature, math, and science. People are grounded in the reality of a world infused with the divine. They are in love, and I have fallen in love with it too.

Little known fact?

Firmly holding to the belief that stains are beautiful, particularly coffee stains, and not simply to reconcile my incapacity to not spill a cup multiple times on the daily.
