  • Meet Marlee Heiken! 💡

Marlee is a junior from Philomath, Oregon majoring in computer science. Around campus you can find Marlee working as an RA in Works Village, working at the IT help desk, and as a member of our Software Engineering Club. 

A fun fact about Marlee is that she has over 25 house plants in her apartment and loves to bake sourdough bread. 

Marlee's favorite thing about being a student at Bushnell are the small class sizes and that you can tell that all the staff and faculty really care about students as growing individuals. 

Marlee's advice to new and current students is to get involved in the community and step out of your comfort zone. "The community is very special here at Bushnell and by stepping out of your comfort zone and into a new place, you might meet some super cool people you might not have met otherwise."
