Megan Nelsen, President
megannelsen@hotmail.com
Hello, I’m Megan Nelsen and I am a president
for Cornerstone. I’m currently a Junior and I’m
majoring in both Spanish and World History. I recently
returned from a semester in Spain, and while I was there I
decided that I want to teach English to Spanish speaking
children as a profession. I joined Cornerstone my
freshman year after participating in a mission trip to New
Orleans to clean up after Hurricane Katrina. I was
receiving emails from Cornerstone for three months before I
finally clicked one for volunteering in New Orleans. I
should have clicked on an earlier email, because Cornerstone
has been the greatest part of Ualbany for me.
It’s a network of friends, a faith-based organization, a
place to relax and eat good food, and a place to be active
in volunteering and serving your community all rolled into
one!

Hi! My name is Anastasia Simmons, Ana for

Administrative Assistant in Cornerstone this year. I am a
SeniorBiology major with a double minor in Chemistry and
Political Science and hope to one day go into Environmental
law. Cornerstone is a big part of my life as it provides me
with an opportunity to explore my faith, hang out with
friends, help out the community through volunteer
opportunities, and of course eat something other than
cafeteria food!

Multicultural Events: Kareema
Pinckney
kp822331@albany.edu
Kareema is a junior at UA and
is currently majoring in English and is minoring in
Communications. She was baptized Catholic and grew up
attending Catholic school. She cannot wait to get started
this year to bring international students to Cornerstone and
help Cornerstone further promote Christian diversity and
unity. Cornerstone to her is a place where you can truly
feel accepted just being who you are and have a chance to
get to know fellow students who know exactly what you go
through as a Christian.

Officer of the Cross: Austin
Powers

Hey, my name's Austin Powers.
Okay, you stop laughing now, because really... it is.
When not in the 518 area, I'm back Syracuse, usually rocking
out with my band or going to shows. I'm going into my
junior year as a history major here at UA with a minor in
education, hopefully becoming a history teacher at the end
of all this. After a whole bunch of confusion my
freshman year, both with me searching out for Cornerstone
and Cornerstone (apparently) looking for me, I finally
stumbled into Chapel House last fall for the first time...
it was a good choice. C-stone is a great place to just
hang out with friends, joke around, eat a ton of food, make
fun of Billy, and of course- a place to really delve into
your faith and truly see where you stand with God. As
Officer of the Cross, I plan to do a variety of things at
Cornerstone this year, including setting up fun outings and
such for the group to do. Feel free to email me if you
have any questions, otherwise- see you all this year!

Hospitality
Host: Zoe
Hi,
I'm Zoe, the official Hospitality Host at Chapel House.
I'm a 10 year old blonde princess (I guess I could also be
called a cocker spaniel, but that sounds so much like a dog)
Hmm.. let's see ... I like - food, food, love, food,
scratches behind the ear, food, walks, food, riding in the
convertible, food, love, food, people, food, naps, food ...
I really like "Scooby Snacks"
