Bert Hartmann
If ever an introvert showed magnetic charisma, it is Bert! Join us, and see him in action. He does an awesome job organizing people and data for Habitiat for Humanity worktrips on weekends and in the spring. A computer science major who is thoroughly Lutheran, his presence among us is solid as a rock. A quiet and perceptive guy with an amazing T-shirt collection.

Vera Lentini
is a senior majoring in English and minoring in Italian. An American Baptist, Vera brightens the room with her smile and invigorates anyone's faith with her thoughtful, keen insights. She's in charge of our website and many of our graphics because of her gift to put words and images together. Her Christian witness inspires and focuses us.

Hector Marisol
is a junior majoring in political science with his eyes on God and on the path to becoming a lawyer. He is often found in the kitchen at Trinity House whipping up an amazing pan of lasagna or a tasty chicken Marsala. Thanks be to God, he is not afraid to do the dishes. He comes to us after having served in the Army for four years with real life experience that inspires great questions and clear faith that is at once steadfast and curious and directed.

Jodi Krutzel
is a recent Cook graduate who, through her honesty, keeps us real and asking the really big questions that keeps us thinking. She lays it out on the line, and we can't help but be there with her, learning, struggling growing, and most importantly, loving.

Javier
is majoring in computer science and joined us on our last Habitat for Humanity worktrip in Wilmington, Delaware because a friend told him about it. He has stuck around ever since, not only because dinner is both free and delicious, but because we keep having meaningful conversations that he hasn't found anywhere else on campus.

Melissa Moore
recently graduated with an MSW from Rutgers, and the year before graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary with her M. Div. She is now enrolled at University College so she can learn Spanish to use in her love of urban ministry. She is also an accomplished cellist, having studied at the Peabody of Johns Hopkins University.

Tony Pawlik
is our resident Catholic who keeps our conversations going across a wide range of topics from the book of Revelations to cultural identity to meditation to healthy food choices. He is pursuing a Ph.D. and understands the fullness of graduate student life. Go ahead, ask him about the glut of Ph.D.s in academia. No else I know has such a realistic and penetrating view on the topic. It could be life-changing.

Sarah Ramteke
is a junior and she may usually be quiet but no one says more in one sentence than Sarah. When Sarah is found at table during lunch or on the couch during discussion, the dialogue promises to be frank and dimension added.

The Rev. John David Larson
Is the pastor for Lutheran Campus Ministries at Rutgers. When he isn’t helping us study the Bible, he is warmly greeting any students to comes to Trinity House, a campus ministry hospitality center and staffs the marathon noon- to-midnight study break during finals.

The Rev. Dr. Paul LaMontagne
joins us this year as he discerns his calling to campus ministry. Generally brilliant and self-described as "a little weird" you want to sit with man explore just about any intellectual topic. He knows so much! He will join Barbara at the Listening Post on Wednesdays and, at other times, find himself on the Busch campus. He is particularly fond of topics related to science and theology.
