Libby Curd - Admissions Counselor

Meet Libby

Hometown: New Bloomfield, PA

Degree: B.A. Human Development and Family Science, Pre-Counseling and Therapy minor (2019)

Why I Love Messiah: When I was a student, my intellect and spirit came alive in a way like never before. Studying at Messiah is like an intellectual adventure! Learning about the world critically, but also from a Christian perspective, shaped my worldview so beautifully. Messiah also gave me the experiences, connections, and guidance to become the Christian professional I am today.

My friends would describe me as: Authentic, thoughtful, approachable, joyful, and a good listener. I’m also quite silly at times.

Favorite spot on Messiah’s campus: The walking trails around Messiah are enchanting, especially in the fall. I loved going for walks to be alone and think.

Favorite meal served at Lottie Nelson Dining: Power Salad with Steak and Chimichurri Sauce. I also love the hand-dipped ice cream (coffee flavored, please).

Best place to visit around Messiah: Lower Allen Community Park is one of my favorite off-campus spots. It’s one of the bigger parks around and is great for hiking, camping, picnicking, and even has a dog park. I also have to give downtown Carlisle a shout-out: it’s full of unique shops and restaurants.

Greetings! If you’re reading this, it probably means you’ve embarked on your college search and Messiah is on your radar! I know this is an exciting time—and a stressful time, too. I’ve been on that same journey and I’m here to tell you that it will all work out in the end. Trust the process, take a deep breath, and take the next step. You have so many people that want to support you—and I’m one of them! My favorite part of my job is connecting with new people—I'd love to hear from you!
