About Me




Abbie Gittinger

My name is Abbie Gittinger and I am majoring in Spanish and Psychology. I am also pursuing a minor in criminal justice and a minor in nonprofit leadership. I will be studying abroad in Cusco, Peru in the spring semester of 2014. I can't wait to visit Machu Picchu and see the Amazon!!  In my free time, I enjoy traveling, photography, music, and reading.

Allie Krumel

            I’m double majoring in Business Communications and Spanish, and minoring in Nonprofit Leadership Studies. I’m from Des Moines Iowa, aka the happiest place in the world, and I have two younger sisters and a big fat yellow lab. I love attending Rockhurst, and next year I’m so excited to study at Semester at Sea! After graduation, I’d love to work in Journalism or in the nonprofit sector, but for now I’m perfectly content flying through life by the seat of my pants.

            I am a sophomore at Rockhurst University, majoring in communications and minoring in psychology.  In addition to my classes, I am involved in Theta Phi Alpha as a general member on the philanthropy committee and APO as the new member educator.  As of now, I am unsure as to what exactly I would like to do with my life, but I am keeping my options open as I experience different things and discover what I think is most fulfilling and interesting to me.

            I am a sophomore at Rockhurst University and I am majoring in mass communications and English writing, minoring in English literature and journalism.  I am very involved on campus; I am a part of the honors program, dance team, APO (the service fraternity), Theta Phi Alpha, social mentors, and CLC.  My participation in these organizations allows me to provide an inside view on issues, events, and people here on campus.  In the future, I would like to work as an editor at a publishing company, although my dream is to be a novelist and own my own bookstore.
