Congratulations, Alex!
“Alex is meticulous and diligent while also kind and witty. He sets the tone in the classroom, recognizing the opportunity to learn while adding levity at appropriate times. Alex has learned to prioritize and take care of himself as he strives to excel. Beyond his exemplary academics, Alex volunteers at church, leading the youth and assisting in worship. Working part time makes his education possible. Finally, Alex can be found in the chapel Monday mornings praying the Office of Matins and throughout the week at the regularly scheduled chapel time. Alex exemplifies what it means to be a Concordian.”— Faculty nomination
