Student Profile:
Jenna Gebeke

   Jenna Gebeke, a senior Management & Communications major from Arthur, ND has truly made the most out of her four years at the College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University. 
     When Jenna first began her college search, she thought she’d like to attend a big university.  Her older sister graduated from St. Ben’s in 2003, so Jenna was already aware of the college but wasn’t immediately attracted to the size.  After touring many big state schools and a few private colleges in California, she thought she’d tour St. Ben’s one more time.  She realized that St. Ben’s was a perfect fit and that the small size would actually pan out in her favor.  She ultimately chose CSB because she loved the community feeling, it was close enough to home (but not too close!), had amazing alumni connections and would allow her to forge her own path because of the small size.
