Why Shorter?
"I chose Shorter because of its strong academic reputation, the very high quality of its volleyball program and its explicitly Christian mission. I hope that the next four years lead to tremendous intellectual, spiritual, and athletic growth for me, allowing me to better serve my family and my community.”
