Student Spotlight

Annabel Christenson

Over four years, opportunities within the biology program and elsewhere opened my eyes to all the passions that I have and all my different options and gifts; however, going to a new country, a new everything, makes you realize it on a more macro scale. Looking back on my time at Gordon and Oxford, I can see how my interests have grown and developed and taken me places that I never would have imagined.
