Ben Dye Hey guys!
My name is Ben Dye and I'm a Senior at JBU this year studying Construction Management. I grew up overseas in Kenya for almost all of my life and I claim that as home. I enjoy reading a nice leather bound book in my high class apartment that smells of rich mahogany...it's boring, I know, but that's just part of my life at JBU....ok, not really. I do enjoy playing rugby, hanging out with my friends, doing something crazy, living in J. Alvin and traveling. I'm looking forward to meeting you all at Orientation. Buckle up-it's going to be awesome!

Hey friends! My Name is Dave LaGue. I am a Junior from Kansas City, Missouri and am a major of Business Administration. I am, at the moment enjoying summer here in Kansas City, but even now I am excited to come back to school and rejoin the JBU community for another year of fun, growth, and great memories. Some of my favorite activities are journaling, talking with friends, watching movies, listening to thought-provoking music, climbing trees, playing Tetris, and seeing the hilarious in the everyday. I am so pumped to meet you in just a few short weeks! Have a great last summer as a kid.

Elena Zamoran Hi, My name is Elena Zamoran, and I am from a beautiful country in Central America called Nicaragua.
I'm a Senior majoring in International Business and my minor is Family and Human Services.
In my free time I love watching movies and doing anything random or fun with my friends.
Being a part of JBU has been one of the biggest blessings that God has given me. I am really excited to meet you and help you in everything you need for this new transition.

Liz Phillips Hello lovely new friends! My name is Elizabeth Phillips, but I recently decided I might get a new nickname (the old being 'Liz'). Ideas?! I am a junior from Tulsa, Oklahoma and I'm majoring in psychology and exercise studies. I get pumped about traveling, new running shoes, riding horses, and ice cream. I love people, especially the wee ones, and although the students and staff here on campus aren't quite tots themselves, I greatly value the people of JBU and the diversity each person holds. I am super excited to welcome you in to such a great community!

Mallory Culver Well, hello friends. First and foremost, I would like to say that I am anxiously awaiting your arrival at John Brown in the fall! My name is Mallory Culver and I am a junior majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Family and Human Services and a minor in Business Management. I was born and raised in the humble yet funtastic town of Springdale/Fayetteville, Arkansas. The slash signifies the fact that while my house is technically in Springdale, I spent most of my days in Fayetteville. College life is great and I love the community that exists on campus! I enjoy being outside and participating in random adventures around Siloam Springs during the school year. Don't you worry, the area surrounding JBU provides for plenty of adventurous and creative opportunities for you to document and add into your future college scrapbook!

Favorite Hangout in NWA: The trail around Lake Fayetteville

Interesting Fact: I named my dogs Sam and Frodo…yes, from The Lord of the Rings
