“I’m not the same person I was when I graduated from Olivet in 2004,” says Crystal Kraemer, office manager who assists the Development team with many administrative details. “God has stretched and changed my life in so many ways.”
Following graduation, Crystal and a group of social work majors served on a mission trip to Romania. “Jan Hockensmith, one of my professors who influenced me, led that trip,” Crystal recalls. “We applied our education in the real world. That was a life-changing experience for me.”
Spiritual grounding while a student and ONU’s great sense of community prepared Crystal well for the next chapters. “My heart is to serve others,” she says. “I so appreciate the ways Olivet keeps Christ at the center and weaves our Christian faith into every aspect of the educational experience.”
