CREATE A RIPPLE EFFECT OF KINDNESS

LaGrange College quickly grew to be my home away from home. I met my husband, closest friends and mentors on our campus. During my undergraduate years I was a member of Phi Mu Fraternity and served as a panhellenic president, Presidential Student Ambassador, residential advisor, Servant Scholar and teaching assistant. I later served as a graduate assistant while obtaining my master’s degree in Philanthropy and Development.

Members of the LaGrange College faculty provided me with opportunities to learn and grow as a leader, individual and young professional. Without the financial support of LaGrange College donors, my college career and professional journey would look much different. The LaGrange College Fund is a passion of mine because all students benefit – all athletes, all majors, commuters and residential students, traditional and non-traditional students.

Returning to the Hill has been a dream of mine since graduating. I am grateful for the Lord’s plan and the opportunity to join the Development team this fall. Your gifts are the beginning of a ripple effect. Each gift changes lives and builds a legacy for students. I am grateful to be part of your legacy and appreciate your continued support of our students.

– Lauren Venters Knowles ’17, M’19 Assistant Director of the LaGrange College Fund
