WHY KING’S

S

mall talk at the beginning of a new school year often involves the question, “what made
you decide to come to King’s?” Each answer tells a different story and opens the door for
what is yet to come. The decision to invest the next number of years into higher education
holds great importance, therefore the question begs to be asked.

“THE EXPERIENCE AND THE SCHOOL ITSELF
WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT
MONEY I WOULD EVER HAVE TO PAY.”
Abigail Douglass of Red Deer, AB was determined to make
the choice of her education for herself. “I wanted to choose
my own way and not be told where to go,” Douglass explains.
At the wise advice of her parents that “the experience and
the school itself was more important than what money I
would ever have to pay,” Douglass was persuaded to give
King’s a try. She recalls, “I started to fall in love with the
feel of it and its community.” She has become involved in a
number of different areas on campus and reflects, “I was almost set on not coming here and one day, after visiting other
places, I realized King’s was for me and here I am.”

LOGAN KAMPMAN
Abbotsford, BC
“I REALLY VALUED THAT IT WAS A CHRISTIAN
INSTITUTION AND I HAD HEARD GREAT
THINGS FROM PAST GRADUATES.”
Faith based learning was a large draw for Logan Kampman
of Abbotsford, BC in coming to King’s. “I really valued that it
was a Christian institution and I had heard great things from
past graduates.” As for his decision in what to study, it was
barely a question. “I chose the Commerce program because
I am very passionate about business, I enjoy brainstorming
entrepreneurial topics as well as learning about the
logistics of marketing.” The encouragement, support and
advice Kampman has received while at King’s is something
he says he is very thankful for.
