Janet Bertok

Hometown: Baldwin, NY

College: Carleton College, Spanish/Latin American studies

Coolest high school clothing or accessory: I had lots of Old Navy fleece. I also had this pair of grey pants with a grey miniskirt attached - perfect for dressy occasions. I'm sure it was cool at one time!

High school or college nickname: JBomb

Weekend activities: I love exploring new places in the Twin Cities -- the lakes, museums, restaurants, theatres. On Saturday morning I love to have breakfast at Victor's, a Cuban restaurant on Grand and 38th in Minneapolis.

One thing people don’t know about me: I love broomball! I've played on the same St. Paul Parks and Rec coed team for the past 5 years.

Favorite thing about Augsburg: The individualized support our students receive which empowers them to reach their full potential. People look out for you here!

Advice to new Auggies: Get out into the community! Do an internship, research, community service, or study abroad. You'll learn lots in the classroom, but you'll learn even more from the people you'll meet and the things you'll do in Minneapolis and the world.
