Sean Johnson

Programs Completed at APU: Outdoor Studies(BA)

Project Title: ‘SHWAK magazine: Human-powered adventures in Alaska

Hometown: Quakertown, PA

Best classes at APU: Expedition Mountaineering and Creative Writing

Best memory of APU: Honestly there are so many amazing memories shared with other students. If I had to choose just one it would be sitting in the Ruth gorge of the Alaska range listening to avalanches tear down from distant mountaintops. I was basking in the evening light while conversing over dinner with my friends. There are few things that can compare to beauty and happiness of that magnitude.

Next adventure post-APU: Starting in May I will be on a month-long expedition with friends climbing and skiing in the Alaska range.

Words of wisdom to future students: Take every opportunity that is offered to you at this school. The professors, faculty, staff and other students are all trying to make you a better person.  You simply need to work hard and let that happen.  Never pass up a chance to be outside and explore, this beautiful state has so much to offer.  Finally, put the same amount of love into everything you do the way you would a relationship. If you love and nurture your dreams then they will grow into the reality you want.
