Hilary and Greg Applequist met at a first-year mixer during North Park University’s Threshold in 1996 and married in 2002. They now have two children: Brooke (18), who attends North Park, and Cameron (14).

God called Hilary toward a career in nursing during her senior year. Now a palliative care nurse practitioner, she serves as an adjunct faculty member in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to Doctor of Nursing Practice program and on the Covenant Ministries of Benevolence board.

While attending North Park, Greg participated in many programs, like the Södra Vätterbygdens Folkhögskola exchange program and CollegeLife. He is now the lead pastor at First Covenant Church of Omaha.

Hilary and Greg shared at the ceremony, “North Park gave us a strong educational foundation and enabled us to gain leadership skills and deepen our faith. These gifts have served us and others well, personally and professionally.”
