Ammen agreed to return this year to work for Vice President for Advancement Blake Hudson and to assist in promoting and planning events put on by Bryan College.

“My senior year, I contacted several Bryan alums, asking them what they majored in and where they are now, chronicling their stories and compiling them into a presentation,” said Ammen. “When Mr. Hudson saw my Powerpoint, he called me into his office and offered me a job.”
