Residence Life and Housing

Staff

My name is Patrick Bergquist and I am the Resident Director of North Hall. Before coming to JBU I spent two years serving in Wichita, KS as an Associate Pastor. I'm a graduate of Anderson University in Anderson, IN where I earned my BA in Mass Communication. After graduating I moved to one of my favorite places, Chicago, IL to work on my Masters from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary. I earned my MA in Christian Ministry, served in a local church and had the chance to be a hospital chaplain before moving back to my home town of Wichita.
I think I have the coolest job on the planet. I have the opportunity to walk with students through many different phases in their growth and development. Some struggle with faith and others struggle with identity but no matter what we struggle with, we struggle with it together. Living in a dorm provides an incredibly unique opportunity to live and learn in community. I am truly blessed to be a part of North Hall.
