What being a Viking means to me:
"Being a Viking to me is about lifelong friendships, transferrable life skills and fun. Many of my closest friends are from the sports teams at Lawrence. My roommates were from the baseball, football and track teams. I've been to countless weddings, bachelor parties and life celebrations of my teammates. The bonds we developed through our competitions will last a lifetime. I developed many life-skills throughout my Viking playing career that have proved invaluable throughout my professional career: leadership, discipline, competitiveness, teamwork, resilience. I used all these intangibles in my early career as a professional baseball player and coach leading baseball teams across the US minor leagues, Australia, South Africa and Europe. Currently, I apply these lessons in my profession as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. Finally, being a Viking is just pure fun! Some of my best memories as a student are from the playing fields. As an alum, the joy continues with all the connectivity events with other fellow LU Viking alums (e.g. going to watch the current teams as fan, playing in alumni games, talking to current student-athletes)."
