Fun facts on the Class
- Members of the Class of 2028 hail from high schools with mascots that were Dragons (3), Knights (3), Red Devils (2), Crusaders, Wampus Cats, Peg Legs, and Kawligas.
- One is the youngest of 5 with 4 older sisters, another is one of 9 children, and still another is one of 14 children.
- Two members have a twin sister. There's a pair of twins, two-thirds of a set of triplets.
Two are ambidextrous left-handed pitchers. - One played for the Swiss National Lacrosse team against a Wabash teammate who played for the Italian National team.
- The class includes the founders of a wildlife habitat restoration club and a conservation club that planted more than 320 trees.
- One classmate co-authored a book titled Chemistry in Our Daily Lives and another is a cursive writing instructor.
- One has visited every Great Lake, founded the “Aqua Stars Water Safety Program” to give free swimming lessons to low-income families.
- One member overcame a rare bone disease that confined him to a wheelchair as a child, and another two are cancer survivors.
- One classmate owns a window cleaning business, another owns a vintage clothing business, one works on his family’s multigenerational sheep farm, and another is a duck rearer.
- The Class of 2028 includes a bag piper, a licensed welder, the co-president of the Bleacher Bums, a cheer team stunt captain, a referee from the World Youth Economic Forum, and the prosecutor of the Vanderburgh County Teen Court. One is “in love with Jennifer Aniston”, and another has “an unhealthy obsession with hot tamales candy.”
Dean for Enrollment Management Chip Timmons '96 especially enjoyed reading a new student's admissions essay describing the magic of his first kiss and how at that moment he was hooked...on fishing. He kissed that first fish and released that bluegill back into the lake.
