"Over several visits to campus Dordt really felt like home. I got to know some professors in both the history and psychology departments who took an interest in me and were helpful in my decision-making process. Coach Gresse had really great communication with me and made me feel welcome at Dordt University. I really like the spiritual focus that coach Gresse has created within the program and Iook forward to being a part of that community," said DeVries.
