How can students serve with MDS after they get degrees?
A term of service as a long-term volunteer (two to six months) right after college is an option. The opportunity to serve as a project director or long-term volunteer may come along at some point in students’ lives. Some jobs or careers might allow for a period of time to do some short- or long-term volunteer work. Some students may end up as regional directors, unit coordinators, or as church contact people. Our hope is that everyone will become long-term supporters of the work of MDS. What if students transfer to a college after Hesston and pursue a degree not related to disaster management? Is there still benefit in going through the program at Hesston? Most of the classes taken at Hesston will transfer to a four-year school, either directly or as electives. Students will have a good foundation of classes that will serve them well regardless of the professions they choose. Courses in the fields of communication, sociology, and religion, as well as others, will stay with the students
