Transformation Thursday

Four years may seem like a lifetime for some people, but for others it seems to go by too fast here at Virginia Wesleyan University. In those four, years students change and go through life experiences that will leave a lasting impression on them forever. Brandon Kussmaull is just one of the many seniors here at Virginia Wesleyan University that has had an impressionable four years.

Brandon is a local from Virginia Beach, Virginia who was part of the graduating class of 2014 at Landstown High School, where he played baseball for them and carried that passion here at Virginia Wesleyan University. Kussmaul is a Recreation and leisure major who is focusing on the route to a therapeutic recreation orientated career and minoring in psychology. Kussmaul has also considered joining the local fire department after graduation.
