Jacob Hammack
Hometown:
Overland Park, Kan.
Major:
Social Sciences (Secondary Certification)
Why did you choose MBU?:
I chose MBU because I wanted to attend a Christian university. A university that is not horribly small, but not too large, and somewhere in a suburb or city. MBU fit my taste. Joining SpiritWing pretty much sealed the deal.I also have cousins living right down the road, so St. Louis is home away from home for me.
What has, to date, been your favorite MBU event?:
The Perk in Fall 2007
What defines you?:
I'm a Christ follower who happens to attend a university. I would hope people can see I try to envelope my life with The Lord Jesus Christ
How does caffeine interrelate with your life?:
Dr. Holly Brand says I shouldn't drink caffeine because it's bad for my health, but not drinking it is bad for my grades. I went three weeks once without coffee. I try not to drink it past four in the afternoon.
Favorite spot in St. Louis?:
the Loop
How has MBU allowed you to experience your faith?:
The MBU Ministry Team presents weekly opportunities to serve. I, however, haven't been able to get too involved because of SpiritWing. I usually have homework to get done Saturday since most of my Sundays are devoted to ministering to churches across Missouri through music and testimony. I'm also able to pray in the morning with friends before my classes begin.
Favorite place to spend time at MBU?:
The coffeehouse, Student Development Office, my room with my roommates, and Jon and Lisa's place watching movies on a cold winter day.
Favorite thing to do on a Thursday night?:
I have SpiritWing practice Thursday nights, but I would want to go to Campus Crusade and hang out at Applebee's afterwards.
Who is your hero? Why?:
My parents, because of the godly example and practical advice/intelligence they give and share with me.
Describe your Welcome Weekend experience.:
I love free bowling and mechanical bulls.
Where do you live (with roommates, parents, apartment, etc)?:
I live in the notorious Room 301 in Pillsbury-Huff dorms. I love my roommates (Clayton, John, and Norman)!!!!
What do you want to be when you grow up?:
A teacher, pastor, missionary, role model, and Marie Tudor.
What's an interesting fact about you?
I like to tell short, random stories and facts.
