Meet Bailey Will! 💡 Bailey is a sophomore from Bend, Oregon and is an IDS (Interdisciplinary studies) major in music, bible and theology, and psychology. Around campus Bailey works for Campus Ministry, the honors program, and is a student mentor. A fun fact about Bailey is that she has 10 tattoos which are all rooted in her faith. Whether it’s a personal story or a reminder of who God is, they all are testimonies or ways He has shown up in her life. Her hobbies include hiking, reading, and worship nights. Bailey's favorite thing about Bushnell is the community you gain, because it will always feel like family. Bailey's advice is to "take advantage of the community and opportunities the Lord will put in front of you, it can be daunting at first, but allow yourself to grow in the uncomfortable and embrace the season you are walking in."
