Senior Profile: Cole Berry

Cole is from Topeka and is earning his degree in Organizational Leadership. He also has a Leadership Studies Certificate, was named a Newman Civic Fellow, was on the Dean's Honor Roll, and was a Homecoming nominee! 

Cole has been a member of Christian Challenge and several FHSU bands. When he has free time you'll find him outdoors playing frisbee. 

"The leadership department has been a great blessing to me the four years that I have been here. I was welcomed into the department by all the faculty and they made my time at FHSU enjoyable. I know most all of the campus leadership faculty by name and have good relationships with them all through classes, advising, and various events. They made sure to get to know me and show that they cared about me as a person. Another group has definitely been my band family. I have always loved being in band, and my four years here with the FHSU bands strengthened that even more. From our directors, upperclassmen, to classmates they all gave me a group of people who I could have fun with and really embrace being at FHSU. Finally, the group that I am connected with the most is Christian Challenge. I have gained so many friendships through that group both student and mentors. Without being taken in with this group I don't know what my college life would have been like. They were a rock to me both in my faith and in education knowing that I could rely on them for support, fun, and encouragement in all I do." 

We're very pleased we'll see Cole around campus for a little longer, as he'll remain at FHSU to complete his Master's in Leadership Studies. It's been great to see Cole take on leadership roles in the things he cares about and he will certainly find success as he continues to do so. We wish him all the best!

but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.”
