New Wilmington, Pennsylvania.
A small town you probably have never have heard of, but it is home to Westminster College, a small liberal arts school, and it is the newest addition to the Odyssey family. New Wilmington is really small. We are also in the middle of Amish country, but it is absolutely beautiful. We may not have much to do, but we have a community of college students who have some of the biggest hearts I have seen.
My name is Mike Peters. I am the Editor-in-Chief for the Westminster Branch here, and I am so incredibly excited to be a part of this wonderful team. I am a Broadcasting & Media Production major, but I am not just a one trick pony. I love writing. I am very passionate about the things I write about. Not only am I passionate, but this team is passionate about writing — they are wanting to become better writers, and you can't teach that. We all come from different towns, different backgrounds and different majors, but we are some of the hardest workers you will meet.
Odyssey stands for a lot of things. They are a company that cares about their employees and their readers. They have very similar standards to those that I apply to my life, but here at Westminster, we try to strive for those standards in the classroom and everyday life. I can talk endlessly about both Odyssey and Westminster College. Here at Odyssey, we write about almost anything, and I can say after reading some of these articles as a college student that they have helped me in more ways than one. Our team here wants to do the same thing by providing you, the reader, an enjoyable and exciting experience with every article we publish. We hope to tug on some heartstrings, make you think and wonder, and maybe even give some useful advice.
I am very excited to be a part of all this. It all still seems surreal. When I started on this journey a few months ago, I never would have thought that all this would happen. But it has! Be prepared. Westminster is coming, and we are here to stay.
