2006-07 Board:

	Luke Kroeger, Service Trip Student Coordinator Room #- 319-596-3180 Greetings! I'm Luke Kroeger and I am excited to continue working with Service Trips in my second year as Student Coordinator. I am a third year here at Wartburg majoring in Accounting and Business Administration. As far as the future is concerned, I am considering everything from the Peace Corps, to Teach for America, and graduate school. I call Freeport, IL, home (also known as Pretzel City, USA) and yes, my high school mascot was the mighty and intimidating pretzel. If I am not busy working on various service trip projects, you can find me working a few hours in the Pathways Center as a WRSL consultant or completing reports for my finance internship with Waverly Light and Power. I am also co-leading a service trip to Atlanta, GA, working with the refugee community.
	Sarah Witte, Student/Faculty Liaison Room #- 319-596-2976 Hello! My name is Sarah Witte and I am currently serving as the Student/Faculty Liaison. I am a senior social work major from Rockton, IL. I am excited to be sharing my passion for service and helping Wartburg students have amazing experiences through service trips! This year I am planning to co-lead a service trip to East St. Louis, IL where we will be working with Catholic Urban Programs with some of the most incredible people on earth. In addition to serving on the E-board, I also am secretary of the Social Work Club and work in the CCE and Waverly Child Care. Next semester, I will be starting my senior practicum at DHS in Waverly working with children and families.
	Randon Ruggles, Fundraising Coordinator Room #-319-596-2126 Hej! (That’s how you say hello in Swedish). My name is Randon Ruggles and I am excited to be the Fundraising Coordinator this year! I hail from the great land of 10,000 lakes, otherwise known as Minnesota, and I am a third year student majoring in English secondary education. This year I am co-leading service trips to Oskaloosa, IA during Fall Break and The Circle of Music Tour during Winter Break. I enjoy watching soccer and hockey, waterskiing with friends, working at IKEA, and someday I want to travel back to Sweden.
	Amanda Sedlacek, Marketing Coordinator Cell Phone #-319-329-2758 HOLA! My name is Amanda Sedlacek and I am a senior from Marion, IA. I am studying to be a high school Spanish teacher along with a Leadership Certificate. I have been fortunate enough to have participated in two service trips at Wartburg. I went to San Bernardino, CA my sophomore year and New Orleans, LA this past year. I am very excited to be working as the Marketing Coordinator because I get to promote all of service trips with the hopes of getting as many people involved as possible! I have worked at Waverly Child Care for the past three years and I LOVE working with young children. I also have spent seven months of my Wartburg career studying abroad in Mexico and am fascinated by the culture and Spanish language.
	Alicia Henry, Finance Coordinator Room #319-596-2627 Why hello there! My name is Alicia Henry and I am this year’s finance coordinator. I’m a fourth year business administration major with an emphasis in finance. I will be co-leading a trip to New Orleans in the winter term and couldn’t be more excited! I love service, chocolate, sunny days, and chasing rabbits around the yard with my younger brother. I’d love to chat with you about any of these things too!
