I’m Nicole

I have not always been a follower of Jesus – I’d love to tell you the full story in person some time! The short version is while I was in grad school I had three friends who loved Jesus and shared their lives with me. Through that, and an encounter with God’s love for me, I knew Jesus was real and decided to give up my own way to follow His. I have been passionate about seeing other students in college and grad school have their lives changed the way mine was, which is why since August 2008 I have been working in campus ministry. I’ve been at Purdue, Notre Dame, Georgetown University and various community colleges and now am excited to add Charlotte, NC area schools to that list as well!

What is Chi Alpha?

A network of Christian ministries that look a little bit different on every campus—but here’s what you’re always sure to find: college-aged men and women who are at once wrestling to become who they are (through school or work or life experience), and to connect with God. You’ll probably find people who are in all kinds of stages of both pursuits: self-discovery and God-discovery. Read More on their website.
