Luke’s Bio: 

Luke graduated from Calvin University in 2021 with a major in Business Marketing and a concentration in professional selling. An interesting fact about Luke’s background is that he and his two siblings were all adopted. Outside of work, Luke enjoys being a father to his son Wesley, spending time with friends, and both playing and coaching lacrosse." 

Advice from Luke: 

I recommend that you visit as many colleges and universities as possible. My reasoning is that you are 40% more likely to attend a place you have visited before. Visiting allows you to see if there is a place and a community for you on that campus! 

Favorite spot on campus: 

My favorite spot on campus is the 5th floor of the library. Especially during winter, it's really cool to see most of the campus from up above! 

Favorite Calvin memory: 

One of my favorite memories from attending Calvin was my experience on the lacrosse team. My birthday was early in the semester, and I was new to both the team and college. On my birthday, the entire team came together, rented out a section of a restaurant, and celebrated with me. It was a wonderful feeling to be part of such a close-knit community.
