Serving students in IL, WI, and Lake County, IN
Hello! My name is Austin Protsman, and I have the honor of serving students from Illinois, Wisconsin, and Lake County, Indiana. I graduated from IWU in 2017 with a degree in Christian ministries. I will always be grateful for the growth the IWU community fostered in me. Because of the support I received, I was able to make some transformative life decisions, which would have been very difficult otherwise. I love being an admissions counselor because I get to help students find those same opportunities. College is a truly unique experience and searching for the right one is complex, so please let me know how I can best support you during this time.
The ability to create lifelong, life-changing friendships.
Attending Puppy Play Day and dominating in Settlers of Catan. Who doesn’t love puppies and game nights with friends?
I get to open doors for students to discover their life calling.
As a university, we encourage and support students in their passions and unique design.
My greatest inspirations are artisans. It takes a great deal of care and creativity to make something with raw material and make it good enough to serve function, beauty and significance.
I am a novice woodworker, I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I know how to make a mean cup of hot chocolate.
The best advice I can give to you is to come ready to thrive. Students who attend IWU and are ready to grow find themselves evolving in ways they never imagined.
