Jerrod Amstutz, Ohio Northern University student, mixes his university major and minor in a creative way.
As a religion major and theatre minor, the 2009 Bluffton High School grad this year is student coordinator of “Ada Friends.” The program matches Ada kindergarteners through eighth graders with a college student mentor.
The mix for Amstutz includes working with the Ada Friends program through the ONU Religious Life staff and adding a little theatrics, just to make the job interesting.
Bluffton resident, Sarah Diller, is one of the Handel "Messiah" soloists this year. The performance is at 4 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 8, in Founders Hall. We had a brief chat with her about the upcoming event. Here's part of our conversation.
