MIKALEH OFFERMAN News Editor “A servant leader with guts and determina- tion, who is determined to make contributions that matter,” Dr. Vickie Ellis, division chair of Communications, said of Austin Manger, an alumnus of OBU. It was recently an- nounced that Manger is a winner of the NextGen Under 30 Award in the category of policy and public service. “I’m not at all sur- prised that he was ranked one of the top 30 under 30,” Ellis said. “It’s what I’ve known since he was in my classes, so I’m just glad everyone else figured it out.” Manger graduated from OBU in 2014 with a degree in communi- cation studies, but left a lasting impression on his professors and peers. “I always enjoyed him [in class],” communi- cation studies professor Dr. Kaylene Barbe said. “He’s really good with people.

I always ad- mired him for that.” Manger currently works as a field repre- sentative for Senator James Lankfor
