I was raised in Hamburg NY, just outside of Buffalo.  I was drawn to UC because of CCM but have come to love everything about the university and Cincinnati. I am a third year studying a double major in trombone performance and music education. I am actively involved in the St. Mogo leadership team, the UC Running Club, and OCMEA. When not in rehearsal or a practice room, I love to cook, run, play with plants, and just relax with my friends.

 Hi, I'm Jen!  I'm a St. MoGo's Intern, and a senior Biology major.  No, I'm not pre-med... I study ecology, and I'm interested in saving the world.  My favorite place on the planet is the Canadian Rockies.  All my best stories come from there.  As for other interests, I enjoy making jewelry, and I am fascinated by religious studies, particularly the impact of biblical writings across history and culture.

I chose to be on outreach because I believe reaching out is essential to spreading the good news of the Gospel.

Erin is a second year Neuroscience major from Akron, Ohio. She chose to join the outreach team so she could encourage other students to get involved in the great community at St. Monica-St. George. She looks forward to meeting all sorts of new people and welcoming them to the Church this year.

  I grew up in the small town of Coldwater in Western Ohio (about an hour northwest of Dayton). I am the second oldest of 11 children (One older brother, two younger brothers, and seven younger sisters). I am in my third year of Chemical Engineering here at UC, and I am actively involved in many groups on campus, including Engineering Tribunal, Engineering Ambassadors, other random groups, and of course, the St. Monica-St. George Newman club! I lector and sing in the choir at church, so you may see me up there from time to time. I also am on the SMSG worship committee. As far as hobbies go, I love playing the piano, reading a good book, cooking, gardening and hanging out with friends. I am interested in just about everything, and I am always trying to learn something new. Feel free to friend me on Facebook or drop me an e-mail if you ever have a question!

I'm a second year Civil Engineering major, and I'm from Loveland Ohio, a city about twenty five minutes northeast of Cincinnati. I decided to be on the outreach team to apply what the Lord calls us to do everyday, by reaching out and loving our neighbors. I wanted to also get more involved at St. Monica St. George to build stronger community with my fellow christian brethren, and grow in faith as well. I love to play sports, listen to music, read an epic book, play  solid board games, do outdoor stuff, have fun goofing around with my friends, and dabbling with the guitar. 

My name is Julie Wagner.  I am a senior majoring in Psychology.  I chose to be on the Outreach team because I would really like to get more groups involved with St. Monica-St. George.  Forming a community where other UC students, faith groups, and Newman Clubs feel welcome is a major goal that I hope to accomplish this year.

Why Social Justice Team? If you just walk one or two blocks off campus, you will begin to see just some of the issues of homelessness and the way the poor in our own city are treated. You can see the unsustainable toll on the environment and the violence towards one another. With all these bad thing comes hope and change, and I wanted to be a part of that change, and that is why I am a leader for our social justice team.

My name is Jenny Looby and I am in my second year at UC. I am majoring in Early Childhood Education, and working on a certificate in deaf studies. I chose to be on the Social Justice Leadership Team because I wanted to become more actively involved with St. Monica St. George, I wanted to learn more about the social injustices that are happening in our community, and I wanted to more actively participate in the struggle to promote equality.

My name is Meghan Moore and I am a fourth year in biomedical engineering.  I am also an intern for St. Monica-St. George and on the Social Justice Leadership Team.  I chose to get involved with St. Monica-St. George because it is a fun, welcoming atmosphere with many opportunities for spiritual growth, meeting new people, and service opportunities.  I also have three sisters and enjoying playing volleyball and dancing.

Social Justice is the most dynamic, challenging, and under-recognized part of our Catholic faith, uniting spirituality with reality. By being a part of planning our activities, I help bring light to our joint responsibility to support and care for all of creation and the meaning and dignity in everyday decisions and people.  The most rewarding part is realizing that each minute brings change and growth to both my peers and those we serve.
