Mormon students embark on missions
By Maur Henninger | April 3, 1997Eric Hagen '96 was in his freshman year and well on his way to becoming a black belt in jujitsu when he temporarily withdrew from the College. But Hagen was not in academic trouble, nor did the College ask him to take some time off. The time had simply come for Hagen to follow his faith. A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Hagen was sent on a mission, as is the custom for Mormons around the age of 20. Hagen is one approximately 20 Mormon students at the College -- a small but thriving community.
