Education:
B.S. Health Science Pre-Physical Therapy – Grace College ‘20
About Me:
Hi! My name is Crystal Crespo Santiago, and I’m an Admissions Counselor here at Grace College. I am so excited to answer your questions and help make this time of transition easier for you and your family!
I graduated from Grace College in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science Pre-Physical Therapy and double minored in Chemistry and Spanish. When I was searching for the college that would best suit me, I wanted to feel part of a community and see the world. Grace checked those boxes and more for me. The fact that Go Encounter trips were a requirement really challenged me to explore. I went to South Korea for my Go Encounter, where I visited the cities of Seoul, Busan, Pohang, and Daegu. With my studies in Spanish came a Go Abroad opportunity, so I packed up and went to study in Madrid, Spain. Throughout all of these experiences, I was always part of a Christian community.
The Christ-centered community at Grace, with churches on every corner, chapel services, growth groups, and God-loving professors, made me feel like part of one big family here on campus. Groups like Esperanza Latina and the International Club were my go-to spaces when I missed home and the Hispanic culture. Over the years, I found myself more and more excited to come back in the fall, as Grace became a central part of my life. I formed friendships that are still going strong and made memories I will never forget.
I would love to help you feel like part of the family as you navigate your next steps! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re ready to make Grace College your home.
