Hi! I am Megan and I am a junior studying geography and sociology. I originally am from London, England, but am loving my time at Calvin and in Michigan so far. I love being outside, the beach, ice cream and Gilmore Girls. I am super excited to get to know you all this coming year and I am praying for you all as you prepare for the fall!

Hi everyone! My name is Alexis Mahler and I am a Junior studying Special Education. I am from Fremont, Ohio and some things I love to do in my free time are crocheting, coloring, going on walks, and spending time with my friends and family. I have loved my time in the MLC and have appreciated the amazing community it has brought me. I am so excited to meet the incoming freshman and continue serving and learning in the MLC.

Hello, my name is Christopher Kingdom Grier II. I am a political science and Religion major here at Calvin. I enjoy to hangout with my friends and family playing spades or uno or watching a really good movie. I deeply love to study the Bible, just to try to understand the character and nature of God. I also love to sing, there is a very big chance that if you ever pass me and I am by myself then I am singing gospel music. I am always trying to engage in Kingdom work, in all capacities of life (I hope you caught the joke). Blessings!

I am a Junior studying Religion and Philosophy with a minor in Ministry Leadership. I've worked in missions, special needs ministry, and with the West Michigan Friendship Center.
Being a part of the MLC was an integral part of my Calvin experience, and I hope to help provide a similar opportunity for you all. Outside of the MLC, I work as an RA in Beets-Veenstra where I seek to foster a supportive community that pursues Christ. My hobbies include running, photography, and building jigsaw puzzles.

Hello! My name is Kyle Cronan, and I will be one of the peer leaders for the second-year cohort. I am excited to step into this role after having a great experience with the MLC the last two years! I am a senior studying secondary education with a focus on grades 5–12 social studies and 5–9 math. Outside of the Ministry Leadership Cohort, you can find me actively involved with the Calvin Theatre Company, mostly behind the scenes. The MLC has been a wonderful community for me, and I can't wait to continue to be a part of it and welcome a new group of students into our community!

Hey, friends! My name is Claire van Zelst, and I will be a senior this fall. I am double majoring in elementary education and special education. I have lived in Grand Rapids all my life, but I love to travel because both of my parents were born in Europe. Some of my favorite things include coffee, reading, hiking, sunrises, and rock climbing. I look forward to getting to know you all better!

Hey y'all! My name is Caynon Love and I'm a junior double majoring in Finance and Strategic Communications. I love Jesus, thrifting, and basketball. I attend Berkley Hills Church and will be interning in their College Ministry in the Fall. I'm super involved on campus also! I am a senator on Student Senate, Vice President of the Black Student Union, IMPACT orientation Leader, and a member of the CISD Ambassadors Team. Meeting new people is one of my favorite things, and I am so excited to get to know you all!
