Welcome to Sembits

You've found the new home of MBBS goings and comings. On these posts you will find, at least once or twice a week, what a friend of mine called "balderdash and myths" of MBBS. I hope to provide a place where friends can come together and swap stories and pictures of their seminary experience.
If you're new to the seminary community: Welcome. (Even if you don't have anything to say and only want to snoop around a bit.)
Warning: Don't take everything you read on this blog as Andy's honest truth. Andy has been known to embellish details for the sake of a story from time to time. (I think it's happened once, maybe twice.)

Free Pizza


Today we (and by "we" I mean my friend Cam Priebe and I, and we invited our other friend Eugene Trofimenko who is the Financial Aid Director here at MBBS, but he didn't want to come with us because he probably doesn't like either pizza or us, I'm not sure which) welcomed a new staff member - Jason Hiebert - to our ranks. Cam and I bought Jason lunch today because this morning when we came in we found a bunch of free coupons to an "all you can eat" pizza buffet in the neighborhood. Score!
According the Cam, "It was literally the least we could do for him."
Jason began working as the assistant to the academic dean, Lynn Jost.
Jason graduated from MBBS in late April with some kind of degree that makes him a fancy pants theologian. I know he's smart because he wrote an article in a recent copy of "In Touch" magazine that we produce. He also won an award given by faculty for writing a really good senior paper. (That's him in the middle of the picture receiving his award. On his left is professor Valerie Rempel and on his right is professor Tim Geddert.)
Welcome Jason.
