I'm Andy, the new campus minister at the PSC. Stop by and see me sometime. I'm from Georgia, went to UGA, and was involved at the PSC when I was a student--so this is a bit of a homecoming for me. I really enjoy leading worship, talking about God, drinking coffee, and playing foosball. Life is good: I have a wife, two dogs, and a baby on the way. I hope you'll come by and get to know all of us at the PSC.

Hi, I'm Jim! I've had the enjoyment of being involved here at the PSC for eight years. I love working with college students. The University of Georgia is a world class university and Athens is a wonderful town. If I can help you in any way, please ask me. You can get in touch with me by coming by or calling the PSC on Monday-Thursday from 9-5. I hope you will make the Presbyterian Student Center one of the places you frequent during your years here at the University.

Hey guys! I'm Betsy, and I'll be a junior this fall, majoring in Religion. I'm originally from Wheaton, IL, and I love the Chicago Cubs, the color green, and Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream (with the bean specks) mixed with Nesquik powder. I've been involved at the PSC since fall 2006, and I can't wait to continue as a student minister this next year. Come visit us, and call or email me anytime if you have any questions or just to talk!

Brent Carroll, Student Minister:

Hey, y’all! My name is Brent Carroll and I am 3rd year History and Religion student here at the University of Georgia. I am originally from the state of Kentucky, but moved at an early age to the city of Atlanta (well, really the ‘burbs, but who’s keeping score). I began attending the University in 2005 and love the school with a passion that many of my fellow Bulldogs share. One thing that people may notice about others and myself is that we play a lot of ping-pong, and I do mean a lot of ping-pong. So, if you feel like coming to the Center and challenging any of us, feel free to come by and have some competitive fun. This semester looks to be a great one, so come join us for any of the many activities we host here at the Center. -- Pax Christi.

Hello everyone! My name's Betsy, and I'm going into my last year here at UGA. I'm from Thomasville, GA, majoring in Religion, Mathematics, and Spanish. I've been at the PSC since Fall 2005, and I've been a student minister, a member of the board, and part of the Pastor Nominating Committee that brought Andy here! I'm also part of the Presbyterian Student Advocacy and Leadership Team (PSALT) of the PC(USA), and we're working on some initiatives like a functional website for students affiliated in some way with the PC(USA) if you're interested. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions about the website, etc.!
