Jason Entingh

I'm currently going into my senior year at Calvin University, where I'm studying linguistics, anthropology, and international development. After graduation I hope to pursue a graduate degree in cultural anthropology and practice applied anthropology in the field of community development. I love learning about people, places, and cultures, and how they inform what it means to be human in God's creation. In my spare time, I enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking, playing bass guitar, and reading Russian literature.
