For Spring 2022, LaMP's Student Leaders are:
Hannah Knox. Student Leader. Hannah is a junior at John Jay College of Criminal Justice majoring in Forensic Psychology and minoring in Interdisciplinary Studies. She hopes to use her passion for helping people and her love for psychology to inspire change within the criminal justice system. Hannah is also passionate about faith and the positive impact it has had on her life and hopes to help others through their faith journeys so that they may find a similar impact which is why the LaMP community is so important to her. Hannah grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania and enjoyed participating in theatre and various singing groups throughout high school. She loves to read and spend time with friends and family.
Rudy LeDuc. Student Leader. Rudy is a sophomore at Columbia College majoring in Biology on the premed track and minoring in elementary education. He hopes to use his degree to help people, either as a doctor or a teacher. Rudy is from New Jersey and has been attending a Presbyterian Church (USA) his entire life. His faith has helped shape his view of the world and become a more loving individual. He feels that faith is an integral part of his life and vastly improves it. Thus, he wants to help others come to understand the loving God he believes in. In his free time, Rudy enjoys reading, crocheting, and baking, pretty much anything he has done with his grandma his whole life.
Liv Kouveras. Student Leader. Liv is a sophomore at Columbia College majoring in Religion and Education Studies. After graduating, she hopes to be able to get her teacher's certificate and also be able to work in youth ministry as well. She has always grown up going to church at home in Bucks County, PA, but really started getting involved in her sophomore year of high school, especially with the worship team and youth group. Now, Liv loves to grow deeper in her faith as well as grow closer to other members of the community. In her spare time, Liv loves to read, play guitar, or whip up a new recipe in her kitchen.
