Officers

The Newman Officers strive to support UMSL students with creative programming,
warm hospitality, enthusiastic outreach, and leadership in faith activities.

The Catholic Newman Center is an organization comprised of students from
the University of Missouri—St. Louis and surrounding communities lead by the professional staff
and a team of 6-10 students called the ‘Newman Officers’ who organize events.

We strive to help each other find and experience the God within ourselves and in the world around us.
We challenge each other within a welcoming environment of dynamic worship,
fellowship, and hospitality. We are called to be a Catholic faith community; passionate about what
happens to individuals; disturbed by injustice; and impatient for the kingdom of God.

These are the officers for the 2008-2009 school year:

	JoAnne Tinsley , President JoAnne Tinsley is a graduate student working on a Master of Accounting. She tutors in the Accounting Lab (4th floor SSB, feel free to visit) and also works at National City Bank. For fun, JoAnne likes to walk and talk with friends, eat half price appetizers and thirty cent wings, go horseback riding and just about anything else that involves friends and quality time. Oh yeah, and she plays the cello in the Newman Center basement. Skeereet! JoAnne can be reached at jmt6wc@umsl.edu.
	Kelly Sedlacek, Outreach
	Trish Detwiler, Treasurer
	Holly Scheibel, Service and Justice
	Laura Kent, Service and Justice
	Erin Leahy, Social Events Erin is a Senior majoring in Psychology. This is her second year at UMSL and third year as part of the Newman Center. She is very excited about the new school year. She loves to hang out, watch movies, play pool and just be with people. If you are looking to kill some time on those long breaks between your classes come hang out at the Newman House, that's probably where you will find her.
	Mike Schien, Member At Large
	Missy Krupp, Historian Missy just graduated from Saint Louis Community College at Meramec in May. This is her first semester at UMSL and her major is in Communications Rhetoric and Theory. She works at a doctor’s office and enjoys babysitting on the weekends. Her interests include listening to music, working out, hanging out at the CNC, and spending time with her family. Missy is your friendly historian and is the one with the camera at all the CNC outings. If you have any questions about anything, you can contact Missy at mkpmc@umsl.edu.
	Mike Ruzycki, SGA Representative Mike is a sophomore at UMSL this year, and is still looking for a major. In the meantime, he's studying a little bit of everything and a little bit of nothing...focusing somewhat heavily in English. He loves helping people with their work. Even if he doesn't have any idea what he's talking about, he can help you get the wrong answers! Mike first got involved with the CNC when he signed up for th e Great Getaway his freshman year. When he walked into the house for dinner before leaving for the overnight, there was Ben Harper on the stereo, spaghetti on the stove, and all kinds of great people to talk to! He pretty much hasn't left since! Outside of the CNC, Mike is a big fan of, well, the planet. He always keeps a soccer ball and a few frisbees in his trunk as well as his unicycle. He also enjoys mountain biking, road biking, backpacking, camping, canoeing, etc. You can usually find him at the CNC, probably in the basement in the middle of an epic ping-pong battle or you can email him at mtryb5@umsl.edu.
