Our History
Cru is an international missions organization present on over 700 college campuses throughout the U.S. and many more around the world. Founded in 1951, Cru has always connected students with Jesus, with the Church and with global missions.
Our staff invest in college students. They are incredibly impactful. Students are growing in their relationship with Christ, while mutually enjoying the riches of fellowship and being sent to their roommates, classmates, teammates and the world.
Big appetite for food, knowledge, and experience. Theology to metallurgy, ancient skills to modern science, Wes Anderson to The Wheelhouse.
I love how God works, people work, things work. Enjoy interesting foods, movies, skills, and solutions. Let’s get our hands dirty!
INFP, a massive reader, aspiring fiction author, and explorer. I can speak Portuguese and will likely try to feed you Brazilian food at least once. I also love soccer, surfing, podcasts and history.
I love all things adventure, and I love all things Jesus. I have a heart for intentional friendship and connecting with others about the gospel. My favorite way to get to know someone is through conversation, quality time over baking a sweet treat and playing catan. Come visit me and I can make you pancakes or waffles while telling you stories!
Introvert. Generally have a smile on my face. Deeply relate to Nostalgia on “Inside Out”.
I get excited about being outdoors, learning about history, watching Cardinals baseball, and reading.
I love connecting with students to hear their stories, talk about how the gospel affects every part of our lives, and exploring how every page of the Bible points us to the salvation Jesus won for us!
Fan of BBQ, a good SNL skit, and watching things grow.
I love to hear people’s stories, ask questions, and learn. I do not enjoy scary movies, rollercoasters, or the idea of deep-sea diving. Basically, adrenaline. But do sign me up for a good adventure.
The best risks I have ever taken have been those that brought me to places to love the Lord more and walk by faith.
A recovering cynic, seeking connection with God and with people. I enjoy theology, football, podcasts, reading, and (almost all) forms of storytelling. I've had the pleasure of growing in faith and relationships with people over the past couple of years, and I don't plan on ending that journey any time soon.
