"TRANSFERS!"

A lot of students transfer colleges and here at the Mount, we've seen our fair share of them. Last year, Juli Phelps and myself transferred here from Cincinnati Christian University and Kenyon College. This year, we have two more transfers (seen above): Carolyn Holt who transferred from Defiance College and Codie Gerwe who transferred from Transylvania University. It's a little more interesting for them to play at the Mount because they both transferred from schools in our league (Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference) so we have to play their former schools twice during the season. Transfers transfer for a number of different reasons. I transferred to MSJ after my freshman year because it's a school that's closer to home, offered the degree that I was interested in and also still allowed me to play basketball. Much to my parent's chagrin, I didn't make this decision until late July before my sophomore year of college... after my tuition deposit at Kenyon had been paid and schedules had been set. EEK. My parents weren't really happy with the late notice, but they understood that my decision was something I had been thinking about for a long time and they supported me 100%. I'm happy with my decision. My life wouldn't be what it is now without the switch. I needed the change to be a happier, healthier person. I miss the atmosphere, the people and the life I had at Kenyon a lot but I also love the people here at the Mount that I've met and become friends with and the opportunities that I have now because of transferring.
