Maia Irwin
Hi everyone! My name is Maia Irwin and I am a nursing student here at Viterbo! I transferred to Viterbo my sophomore year and was welcomed with open arms; the community here is one of the many reasons why I love this school! Outside of classes and clinicals, I’m chasing down a cup of hot coffee, cooking up a new recipe, or binge-watching a good show with my friends! I also work the front desk of the HUB (3rd Floor of Murphy Center), so please stop by if you ever have questions or just need a snack (I can definitely help with both!). As I continue my path at Viterbo, I’m looking forward to growing in my faith through the many opportunities Campus Ministry has to offer! I know how intimidating it can feel to be a transfer student, but I am here to remind you of the many resources there are available to support you. Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself—you never know what opportunities are out there until you ask! I’m so excited to connect with you and support your transfer journey! Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’d love to offer my support and connect with you. You can contact me via email or IG: maia_irwin

My name is Micah Beise, I grew up in Rosemount, Minnesota which is a suburb of the Twin Cities. While at Viterbo, I am majoring in social studies education to teach high school history as well as pursuing a minor in environmental science. Beyond studying history, I run cross country and track & field for Viterbo, serve on the board of the Student Athlete Leadership Team (SALT), serve as President of the Driftless Vets of the Student Veterans of America Organization (SVA) and serve as an orientation leader. I transferred from the Community College of the Air Force and currently am serving to help transfer students in their transition to Viterbo!
