2025 Alumna of the Year

by Sandra Chavez Plett, CBC Alumna Class of 1998

At CBC I had lots of opportunities to learn about leadership and practice in a safe setting where I received training and discipleship from others. The classes gave me opportunities to learn about the theoretical parts of leadership, and then I got to learn my leadership style in practice. I practiced through student leadership in residence, leadership on student council, and eventually leadership on staff as a Residence Director, and I had many opportunities to lead teams on short-term missions trips.

One of the things I really appreciate about my CBC experience was community life, where even professors and staff took part in activities across campus, modelling life-on-life discipleship. I was able to learn a lot about leadership through their formal and informal mentoring in my life.
