Marie Odile Ndayishimiye Uwineza, Rwanda

Ashton Kelly, Australia
"It was easier to find my place at Westmont as a missionary kid than at my previous school. The professors were super considerate and valued my unique perspective. International students have so much to offer Westmont and vice versa. My biggest take away from my time at Westmont is summed up in its motto. I want Christ to hold preeminence in my life."
Daniel Kohl, Jordan
“I appreciate the connections I get to make, as everyone is caring, supportive, and friendly. It allows me to grow and be the person I want to be without any fear.”
