Savannah Riley is a junior from Abingdon, Virginia, who is making holes-in-one and serving others for Christ at Bluefield University.

As a member of the BU golf team, Riley’s athleticism stands out on the course, and as a member of Student Ministries and a Christian studies major, her faith shines in the classroom and around campus. However, coming to Bluefield she admits is not something she ever thought she’d do, but not that she’s here she said it feels like home.

“Coming to Bluefield was a Lord moment,” Riley said. “I never pictured Bluefield being the place I would call my home away from home until I stepped foot on campus. It felt like a true family and that is the main reason I’m here today. The community and the mountains feel like home. The family makes it home away from home.”
