Years at Hanover College:
I received a bachelor of science degree in marketing from Indiana University, Bloomington, and master's in business administration from the Williams College of Business at Xavier University. Before coming to Hanover College, I spent three years in corporate sales and three years coaching collegiate athletics. Working closely with students and helping them navigate through one of their most important life decisions has made my time at Hanover a great experience.

Why I think Hanover is a good choice:
At Hanover, we encourage and expect students to explore their academic and co-curricular passions. Experiential and interactive opportunities surround students at Hanover whether it's becoming a business scholar, working with the Rivers Institute in our organic garden, competing in varsity and/or intramural sports, performing arts or travel abroad. The level of interpersonal growth Hanover students experience here during their four years is astonishing. As a result of the relationships forged with faculty and staff, students leave here with the knowledge and confidence necessary to not only be extremely successful in life, but also act as stewards in society.

Hobbies and Interest:
I enjoy running, golf, traveling and spending time with family. My wife, Rhonda, and I are the proud parents of Lauren Marina and Claire Lillian Gage.

Why I think Hanover is a good choice:
You can't go wrong with a liberal arts education. Hanover College provides the perfect environment to experience a variety of unique academic genres. From the humanities to foreign languages, pre-professional advising programs in business, law, health science and exercise science, Hanover students will find the challenge they need academically in a classroom with less than 20 students. Now that is an experience that may be hard to find or duplicate on other college campuses.

I also appreciate Hanover College's commitment to the community and to multicultural awareness. The school has a great legacy of uplifting and educating students from diverse ethnic backgrounds and cultural communities.

Since coming to Hanover, I have discovered the legacy of Benjamin Templeton. He was the first African-American to attend Hanover in 1832, only five years after the College's founding. Templeton became an important leader of the free black community of Philadelphia through the 1850's. He went on to become the pastor of Second African Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pa., which he served until his death in 1858. Wow, what a legacy of leadership!

Hobbies and Interest:
I love music of all kinds and spend much of my time listening to and searching for new and unique music. I call myself a part-time poet and closet spoken-word artist. I love to write and express myself through words. I have always been a fan of movies and theater. I also serve as the co-leader of a young women's mentorship program called the Sisters' Circle.

Travel Territory:
Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Georgia and the remainder of the southeastern and southwestern continental U.S.

Education:

I received my bachelor of arts degree in African and Diaspora Studies from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., and spent four years working in development, alumni relations and undergraduate admission for my alma mater. Although I am new to the Hanover community, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and see great value in the Hanover academic and social experience.

Why Hanover College?
When individuals ask me "Why Hanover?", I quickly respond with "Why Not Hanover?" Being a recent graduate, I can single-handedly tell you that Hanover has endless opportunities to provide to students both inside and outside the classroom. Whether a student is studying abroad, competing in a Division III athletic event, performing in a theatre production, receiving one-on-one attention from a professor, or taking a hike through the 650 acres of beauty, Hanover College has it all. Creating an atmosphere that the student can excel in is what sets Hanover apart from other institutions. The attention each student receives from faculty and staff helps ensure that the student will not only excel while he or she is here, but will also help create a well-rounded individual that can succeed once you step foot off of the campus as well.

What are some hobbies?
Anyone who knows me would say that I can't stay away from the golf course. Haven been a collegiate golfer here at HC, I enjoy playing golf in both the fall and spring. My huge family and absolutely wonderful friends are an enormous part of my life, so most of my weekends are spent with them, which usually involves camping, playing cards, or just laughing the night away. Even though I am beyond competitive and always energetic, I don't mind a night every once and a while where I get to just stay in a watch a good movie.

I work with students in the following Indiana counties: Benton, Boone, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fulton, Hamilton, Hendricks, Jasper, Jonhson, Lake, LaPorte, Marshall, Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, Porter, Pulaski, Putnam, St. Joseph, Starke, Tippecanoe, and White

As well as working with students in the following states: Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming

Biography:

Hometown: Bedford, Ind.
High school: Bedford North Lawrence '02
Degree: Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Hanover College '06

My family moved from Racine, Wisc. when I was a kid and I spent my years growing up in Bedford, Ind. In my junior year of high school, my mom's employer (who sent a son to Hanover) suggested that I visit the campus and within moments I knew my college search was over. I found it ironic that I wasn't considering a small private liberal arts college and Hanover was the hidden gem that I didn't realize existed. After four years at Hanover and 20 years in southern Indiana, I graduated and moved to Long Island, N.Y., to experience a new area with new people. When my brother graduated from Hanover in May 2008, I accepted my current position as an admission counselor at Hanover.

Frequent questions:
What makes Hanover special?

In my opinion it is the people at Hanover that makes the college special. Every morning, students, faculty and staff bring their knowledge, goals and experiences to share with others. We are able to learn from each others' passions and furthermore, who they are. For being a small campus, we are made up of different nationalities, religious affiliations, political standpoints and cultural exposures. The sense of community at Hanover College is unique. Hanover students care for the well-being of not only themselves but for everyone around them. The faculty and staff are supportive and rally for your success during the four-years spent at Hanover and beyond.

Why is Hanover a good choice?

In a nutshell, it's a healthy, safe and wonderful place to live, grow and learn for four years. A piece of me will always be at Hanover and selfishly, I have taken more than my fair share from Hanover with me!

Hobbies and interest: I most enjoy being outside, taking pictures, taking a last-minute road trips, reading (I welcome recommendations,) and I am a big movie buff. I love finding quotations to which I can relate to people or events that have happened in my life. I have a wonderful, loving family and an amazing arrangement of friends. Most of all, I love being around good people for good conversation and good humor.

Biography:

I grew up in a small college town in South Carolina, so when I came to Hanover as a student in 2000, it felt familiar and and quickly became my home. After I graduated from Hanover in 2004 with a degree in Studio Art and Art History, I continued exploring my academic interests in a graduate program. After I received my master of fine arts degree in 2007, I turned back to Hanover for my career because college access and administration was a new interest of mine after my experience in graduate school working closely with administrators.

I love working at Hanover because I am able to help others find the right college experience for them. I have more than a decade of experience as a student, alumna and staff member, and I love sharing my stories and experiences on campus because I believe they did wonders for my personal growth. It is so rewarding to see new Hanover students each year come to campus and learn more about themselves and the world just like I did.

A Hanover College education in the arts left me with two career paths, one in helping others find their own path for college and careers and another in a lifelong passion for the arts.

I work with students from Marion County, Ind., Franklin County, Ohio and transfer students. I also coordinate auditions and portfolio reviews for the visual and performing arts scholarships.

Education:

Hanover College, 2004, B.A. in studio art and art history
University of Cincinnati, 2007, M.F.A.

Why Hanover?
Hanover represents everything I looked for as a prospective college student: an individualized education, a strong sense of community, as well as passionate students, faculty and staff. We have students from all over the world come to study in our nook of Indiana. While they pursue their own path within the college, shared difficulties and academic successes, both physically, and personally, bring the whole campus together. These experiences build a strong passion for Hanover among everyone involved, and you can see that passion in everyday campus life. It's really something that needs to be witnessed firsthand.

What are your favorite hobbies?
I enjoy getting outside whenever I can. I'm extremely competitive and love to play sports, especially tennis, racquetball and basketball. Otherwise, I just like to hang out with friends, watch a movie, and relax.

If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would it be and why?
Chocolate Snack Pack because they are a great source of chocolate and come individually packaged. Whether I'm in the desert or in the rainforest, dinner will always be fresh.
