CONWAY, Ark. (October 23, 2012) - Hendrix College senior Karyn Kuan '13 was recently profiled in this article in the United Methodist Reporter about seminary-bound students at Hendrix.
In the article, Kuan, 21, a lifelong member of First United Methodist Church in Seattle, says she chose Hendrix "because of the ways the school supports students who are seminary bound."
- 32 Hendrix graduates have enrolled in seminary since 2002 and half of those are attending United Methodist seminaries.
- 12 are currently in seminary and 20 more are expected to enroll in the next four years, including seven who received their degrees in May 2012.
- 7 members of the Class of 2012 are attending seminary, including three United Methodists: Colin Bagby, an English major from Russellville, Ark., now at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University; Paul Richards, a religion major from Houston, Texas, who's at Duke Divinity; and Allison Sauls, an interdisciplinary studies major from Shreveport, La., who also is attending Candler.
