Community Service Learning Coordinator (located in Mercer 320)

Hi! My name is Alexis Sawchuk and I am the CSL Student Coordinator. I am a junior with a psychology and WGST double major with a minor in Linguistics. After graduation, I hope to take a gap year to save up and apply to grad schools to hopefully begin the process of becoming a Clinical Psychologist! I love to be outdoors—as you can see in the image where I hiked Old Rag with a friend—listening to music and being with friends! I’m excited to be here and meet new people 🙂

Hi everyone! I’m Rae Mears (she/they). I’m a junior psychology and biology double major with a minor in neuroscience. I’m most interested in biopsychology.

I love reading science fiction novels, hiking in the mountains, and crocheting. I’m also a consultant at the Speaking and Writing Center. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email!
