Peer Minister

Ministry Hour:
Wednesday's 12:15 - 1:15 PM  
Blue Lagoon Area

I’m a Junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering.  I run Cross Country and Track at UST, so if you want to find me just head to the river road.  Along with Peer Ministry, I am a leader of CRU (Wednesday’s at 9pm in Koch Commons).  I love all kinds of sports (the best one to watch is hockey), fantasy football, the outdoors, slalom skiing, boating, and camping.

I’m a Junior double majoring in Applied Mathematics and Physics while minoring in Catholic Studies. I’m from Burnsville, MN and have 3 siblings. I love to play sports and am currently training for a Tough Mudder competition in July 2013. At UST, I’m involved in Peer Ministry, Saint Paul’s Outreach, Pulse (dancing being a hobby I discovered while at college), intramural sports, and I am a student researcher in the math department. In my free time you can find me hanging with friends, reading a good book, playing ping pong/video games, or taking a good quality nap somewhere comfortable.

I’m a sophomore double majoring in Economics and Justice and Peace Studies.  I grew up in a small, rural town outside of Rochester, MN where I was a 3-sport athlete and a member of many other student activities.  Here at UST, I am involved in SHINE, SJP, VIA, and Peer Ministry!  I absolutely love the outdoors: hiking, biking, canoeing, running, ANYTHING!  Side Note: My favorite processed-cookie is the oreo, and I love mint.

My name is pronounced as if it were spelled Hoken, but my parents didn’t want to make it that easy for people. I am a Senior majoring in Accounting. Aside from my involvement as a Peer Minister, I also attend a bible study on campus called COW (Tuesday’s at 8pm in MHC 203).

Right by the loft (ASC 3rd floor), in those green comfty chairs

I am a sophomore from Owatonna, MN, a town of about 26,000 and growing. I am the baby of 6 kids in my family which means my parents are seasoned. That being said, I am blessed to have 2 married siblings making me an aunty 4 times over. I love running and being outdoors, my favorite season is fall, and I love rainy days. Aside from Peer Ministry, I am also involved in CSI and Students for Human Life. Ask me to come swing dancing (I really like it!)
