Why I Work at SPU

Jake Carlson, Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs

I love working with college students. Seattle Pacific University students are asking important questions both big and small. I am passionate about walking alongside students as they ask questions such as "How do I live justly in today's world?" or "How do I register for classes?" Either way, I usually end up learning something new myself!
