His religion minor is a nod to his mother’s career as a Lutheran pastor. The latter, he believes, can act as a force for progressive action. “I just think religion is a really important part of my theory of social change,” he said. “I had to understand the theology of different religions and how they play out in terms of liberating people

limitless opportunities to study abroad – all of those factors added to the university’s appeal for me. My PLU experience: When I first started out at PLU I was overconfident and unabashedly idealistic.

When Jensen started filling out applications during fall semester of his senior year – 13 in total for schools across the United States – Smith was there, guiding him through the realities of the process.
