1998 Alumna Teacher Praises 2008 CC Graduate
Among the Christ College graduating class of 2008, none has come farther, literally, than Nikolina Kiselinova, who emigrated from war-torn Macedonia to the United States at age 15. But Nina, as she is called, was launched into academic success in Christ College with the help of CC alumna Samantha (Bradtmiller ’98) Lucas who was Kiselinova’s Spanish teacher at River Forest High School in Hobart, Ind.
CC Faculty Spotlight
For CC Professor Kevin Hoffman ’93, probing Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard’s views of faith and suffering, using his skills as a carpenter to help students build housing in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, or pondering “The Perplexities of Personal Love” (the title of one of his CC seminars) are all part of the same enterprise: enabling students to think for themselves and become “integrated human beings.”
