Joshua Trawick
Joshua Trawick, a junior Bible and theology major from Cataula, Georgia, came to Lee for vocational ministry. He chose Lee after seeing how the students interacted with each other, and because he found a community of people who held similar academic interests. Josh is currently a student worker in the SOR, a route leader for Crossover, part of Kappa Omega, and a peer leader. “I came to Lee not knowing anyone, but got involved freshman year and was able to make great friendships,” Josh said. “Being a peer leader and helping freshmen also get plugged has been one of the best experiences.” After graduation, Josh plans to study Old Testament at a seminary and eventually become a professor.
