Meet the team!

This blog is to officially introduce you to the FUS Women's Ministry team for the 2012-2013 school year!! We are here for you, so when you see us around, feel free to say hello and get to know us! And never be afraid to give us suggestions on events you'd like to see around campus!

Back row (from left to right): Sr. Elizabeth Beussink, TOR, Marianne Deramo, Bernadette Scott, Clarissa Quiring, and Cayce Smits.

Front row (also left to right): Colleen Murphy, Stephanie Culy, Ashley Ackerman, and Olivia Cundiff.

Some fun facts about your WM team:

Bernadette Scott is a Communication Arts (Multimedia) major with a double minor in English And Theology. She is a sophomore by year, and a junior by credit. She enjoys bargaining, and through this has gotten a raise and a discount on a cell phone case! And that is only the beginning! Favorite quote: "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." -Blessed Mother Teresa

Cayce Smits is a senior Sacred Music major, with an emphasis in Voice. In her spare time she can be found successfully running all the way up the steep hill from University Blvd. to the Heights!

Ashley Ackerman is a 2nd year grad student studying for her MA in Theology, and she's a Yooper!

Colleen Murphy is a sophomore Psychology and Theology major who loves dark chocolate, love stories, and oversized sweaters....but then again doesn't every girl??

Sr. Elizabeth is the Pastoral Associate for the Office of Evangelization as Head of Women's Ministry and was once the director of a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre. Yes, you read that correctly.

Clarissa Quiring is a senior Theology major minoring in Biology. She enjoys nail painting, spelling, swimming with sharks, and Marcel the Shell with shoes on. She once walked all over Paris carrying a violin on her back in order to get a picture playing the violin in front of the Eiffel Tower. This may or may not have been by parental coercion.

Olivia Cundiff is a sophomore Business Marketing and Business Management major. When she was younger, instead of wanting to be a firefighter or the president, she told her parents she wanted to be a water slide instructor. She wanted to help society by teaching kids to successfully go down the water slide.

Stephanie Alicia Culy is a senior Theology and Multimedia major. Her favorite Disneyland ride is the Matterhorn.

Marianne Deramo is a grad Theology student. She likes cheesy romantic comedies, amusement parks, making wedding story books, and adventures! Once, she parachuted off a mountain in Austria and loved it!  

On behalf on the whole team, we hope you enjoyed a little peek into our lives, and stay tuned to read more blog posts from each one of us!
