A new Tuesday evening, at Slamstox that means: a new University Spotlight! This week we take a look at one of America’s largest universities with about 100,000 students per year. Whut? Yes, you read that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are talking about Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. The size of the university is not the only thing that makes it special, because since this year one of our athletes has become part of the Liberty Flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She obtained her high school diploma at the Veurs Lyceum in Leideschendam, after which she studied for 1 year at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. Then it was time to chase her dream in the USA: Nanah Fung-Loy, hardworking student, athlete and, recently Liberty Flame!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The now 19-year-old Nanah has already won many beautiful athletics titles in her sports career and she regularly participated in Dutch championships. Nanah has specialized in heptathlon, as a heptathlon athlete she has been part of the athletics team of Liberty University since this school year. Where she is following the study ‘digital media and content development’ as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nanah has not been part of the university for long, but we asked her for a first impression of her new home. This beautiful response came back to that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe university is very diverse, there are many different types of people with many different cultures. Liberty is a place where many connections are made and especially a place where you learn about Christianity and its connection.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
