About Chelsea

Hello all! My name is Chelsea, and I am going into my sophomore year here at WMU. I'm from a really small town in mid-Michigan called Westphalia where literally the cows outnumber the people. I graduated Pewamo Westphalia High school where I was very active in track and basketball. Aside from athletics I was involved in the National Honors Society, and my church, St. Mary's Catholic Church.
When looking for a college, and essentially where I would be spending the next four years of my
life, I wanted to make sure that I make the right decision. The summer before my senior year I toured the colleges that I was planning on applying to, then actually applied around September of my senior year. After visiting the schools again, I was able to weed out some of the schools and eventually it was down to MSU and WMU. I never thought I'd be going to a school so close to home (MSU) but the prestige and recognition that it received was tempting. Both had the Dietetics program I was looking for and ultimately it came down to where I was most comfortable and felt most welcomed. I finally decided to come to Western because it felt like home, yet I knew I wouldn't be running into people I knew which was also major deciding factor.

Coming to Western was one of the best decision I've made in my life. I made friends right away with the group Intervarsity. Intervarsity is a Christian Fellowship group on campus which offers bible studies in all the residence halls, a friendly christian community, and campus ministry. I also lived in the Valley's and became very close with my roommates and neighbors on my floor. Besides Intervarsity, I am a part of Student Dietetic Assoc. Alternative Spring Break, St. Tom's Catholic Student Parish, and a member of Lee Honors College. When I'm not busy with these organizations, classes or work, I enjoy running and hope finish a full marathon in the near future.
