Emily R. Peterson

Bryan was the place I needed when I did not know what I needed. My plan was to be on the volleyball team, get a degree, and get out. But boy was I wrong, God had different plans. People at Bryan saw things in me that I would have never seen on my own. I was asked to be an RA and then to be a TA and more and more people were counting on me for different things and I had no clue why. I found that I actually was not the believer that I thought I was and my mentor poured into me in ways I could not ask for. I saw Jesus through the people at Bryan which led me to have a real relationship with Him and I am forever thankful for that. I decided my time was not over at Bryan when I took my position as the student success coach in the ARC. I want to pour into the lives of students the way that my professors, RD, coaches, and staff, poured into my life.
