Josh Milenbach
\nMajor: Rawlings Sport Business Management and Financial Services
\nGraduation Year: 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joshua Milenbach\u2019s search for the perfect university that offered a well-connected sport business management program and an opportunity to continue his faith led the California resident to the Midwest. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt came down to University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, or Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPP,\u201d says Milenbach. \u201cOf course, I decided to come to Maryville. I also chose this university because it was on the smaller side and I knew it would have that \u2018family\u2019 feel. I think the best quality Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPhas is that it is a small enough campus to where I know a lot of people, but I also have the incredible opportunity to meet new people every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milenbach, who is double majoring in Rawlings Sport Business Management and Financial Services, also praised Maryville\u2019s numerous student organization options. Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPoffers over 100 student organizations from social awareness clubs to spiritual organizations and more. <\/p>\n

\u201cHaving Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPoffer these types of organization is crucial for diversity and inclusion,\u201d says Milenbach. \u201cThis is because it makes minorities feel more welcomed and included on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

He joined Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPHillel as a freshman. <\/p>\n

\u201cI joined Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPHillel because I wanted to have some friends right off the bat,\u201d says Milenbach. \u201cThis organization has not only helped me find friends, but has helped me grow my Jewish family.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a member of Hillel, Milenbach participates in events such as Challal for Hunger Bake, the Jewish Cultural Food Fest and Chocolate Seder while also attending services. <\/p>\n

\u201cI knew that I wanted to bring my Jewish background into college and embrace who I am and Maryville\u2019s Hillel allows me to do so,\u201d says Milenbach. \u201cBy having all of us from around the country come together and bond makes me feel so honored to be a part of the Jewish community.\u201d<\/p>\n
