WOMEN'S OUTREACH BOARD
Chair of Women's Outreach
REGINA GRAVROK
Hello lovely humans! I am so excited to spend the year learning and growing with you all. I have an affinity for the writings of Saint Augustine, Norwegian author Sigrid Undset, Pope Saint John Paul II, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. I also stress bake, so check back around midterms for pie. Please reach out! I love chatting about books, theology, and, frankly, the weather. I’m an extrovert.

Chair of Theology of the Body Seminar Committee
EMILY O'GARA
I am a senior finally realizing the profundity of a classical, liberal arts education. I cherish my faith, my family, the pursuit of beauty, and the opportunity to discuss literature with anyone willing to risk the possibility of a rant about Les Misérables.
Theology of the Body Seminar Coordinator
MONICA BLANEY
Monica deeply enjoys piano, one-on-one conversations, beautiful literature, and living on a lil farm! Fun fact: her favorite way to do dishes is in a dim kitchen next to candlelight while listening to Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil.
Theology of the Body Seminar Coordinator
EMMA BURBACH
I absolutely love designing clothes, striking up the most random of conversations, and anything relating to honeybees! I believe a cup of hot tea is a love language and a cure-all and I can rant to you about any scientific opinion for longer than you would probably like. Please reach out with any questions - or just to stop by for a chat!
Consecration Director and Apologetics Associate
