Erik Hansen '14

Erik Hansen '14 is the Creative Arts Director at Grace Christian Missionary Alliance Church in Middleburg Heights. Erik writes, "I couldn't have done it without my Malone education! I feel very prepared for what I am doing, because my professors gave me the opportunity to learn exactly the tools I needed for this type of job.

...working for Ryan Laux (and Mike Land '07 before him) was just as important to my Malone experience. The knowledge and experience I gained in those opportunities as a student worker gave me the expertise to advance quickly in my field.

Lastly, Malone gave me the opportunity to build a solid spiritual foundation in my studies. I actually think this has been the most important aspect of my whole college career, because now that all the activities, classes, and the "college experience" are over, what still sticks out to me is the Christian foundation that everything was built on. My professors, especially Dr. Moroney, were incredible in helping me to cultivate a solid foundation for my faith."
