Patrick Cahill calls Long Island home and was born on February 24, 1993, Ash Wednesday of all days. Pat thinks that that unique coincidence is an awesome invitation from God to enjoy a relationship with Him. A Spanish and Theology major, he is hoping to become a teacher, but is open to whatever God wants from him. Pat is also a member of Fordham’s Men’s Rowing team and really enjoys hanging out with teammates and friends—especially from Campus Ministry! His favorite food is grandma’s lasagna, and if you ever have chocolate chip cookies, expect him to steal one or two! He might even bake some for his CLC with his co-leader Vicki! Pat loves CLC because it is the perfect place to pray with people who listen and care about you and to help us find God in all things, especially the CLC family! Make sure to say hi when you see him around campus!

Alyssa Carmusciano, is a mathematics major in the class of 2014 from the “forgotten borough,” Staten Island, New York. She has an older sister and an adorable little Maltese named Rocky Jeter, who she will most likely mention at every CLC event. When she is not attending Campus Ministry events, Alyssa can often be seen persuading people to join Relay For Life, being buried deep into her math textbooks, giving tours of the
beautiful Fordham campus (feel free to jump in and say hi during them!), tutoring at the Rosedale Center for Girls, or watching multiple episodes of How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. Alyssa loves being a part of CLC because it is a way for her to relax after a long, stressful week of classes and to participate in community service activities.

Stephen Gan, a Scranton native, pictured here in his natural habitat, is a member of the Fordham College at Rose Hill Class of 2014 and plans to major in Biology and Classical Languages. Stephen, a proud elder brother to two amazing sisters, can often be found playing the mandolin in both the Gloria Dei Choir and Praise and Worship Band when he isn't working a shift on FUEMS and has also been known to escape on more than a few long distance runs. More than anything, Stephen treasures the CLC experience because of the camaraderie forged in the mutual search for God in all things.
