Residence Life Staff

Diane Ihrke is starting her fourth year as Resident Life Director in the girls dorm. She graduated from Lutheran Brethren Bible College in 1984 and from NDSU with an Associate of Arts in Nursing in 1981. Her past experience includes Dean of Women at the Bible college for three years and two years as the Assistant Dean, while attending college. She has worked at Lake Region Hospital for 11 years as an RN and when she started her family did home daycare for two years. Her children, Sam (7) and Zeke (4), live with her on the top floor of the "Old Castle".

 

Stacy Nilsen is starting her second year as a Resident Life Assistant.  She attended Hillcrest as a dorm student for both her junior and senior year and graduated in 2000.  In 2004, she graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish.  Prior to working at HLA, she taught for a year at Torrington Christian Academy near her home in Connecticut.  Following God's call, Stacy moved to Fergus Falls last August and looks forward to another year in the dorm.
 

Emily Benson is another one of our assistants on the Resident Life Staff. Emily grew up in Succasunna, NJ with her mom and dad and two fabulous sisters. She kept very busy with soccer and basketball at Roxbury High School before heading to Messiah College in Pennsylvania. She   graduated with a degree and teaching certification in Health and Physical Education. She played soccer in college and is now enjoying coaching at Hillcrest. Emily taught middle school in Pennsylvania for one year before finally making the move to the chilly Midwest. She is a New Jersey girl at heart but is loving the Hillcrest family.
