CONWAY, Ark. (March 12, 2013) - Hendrix senior Karyn Kuan is featured in the latest edition of Interpreter, a national magazine devoted to United Methodist-related higher education.
Kuan's interview is found on page 28 in this issue. In the article, Kuan discusses how Hendrix prepared her well for a career in ministry. She also shares her experiences in the Hendrix-Miller Center for Vocation, Ethics, and Calling, her work in the Chaplain's Office, and her involvement with Campus Kitty, a week-long series of fundraisers for local charities.
Last fall, she was featured in an article in the United Methodist Reporter about seminary-bound students at Hendrix. In that article, Kuan 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.
