Freshmen & New Student Outreach
WHO WE AREWe are a group of leaders dedicated to serving freshmen and new students at SC. We strive to provide students access to Christian community and opportunities to ask and discuss tough questions.
WHAT WE DOThis fall, we will be navigating the virtual world together! We'll be holding weekly zoom Bible studies as well as finding creative ways to get to know each other, hang out, and serve together - we would love for you all to join us this semester! Please contact us or one of our leaders (their emails are below), and we would be thrilled to chat with you!
Are you a representative of another campus ministry and want to collaborate with us? We're down! Please send your ideas to Abigail Kim or Carolyn Scott. |

WHEN WE MEET
Most Bible studies meet on weeknights. More information will come out just before the school year!
MEET THE TEAM
Elly Cerling
Freshmen & New Student Outreach Leader Hometown: Pasadena, California
Hobbies/Interests: I like reading, Taekwondo, Irish music, and more reading! What I'm excited for: I’m excited to see what God has in store for us this upcoming year, especially in the middle of this pandemic. Email: ercerlin@usc.edu 
Abby Kim
Freshmen & New Student Outreach Area Leader Hometown: Fullerton, California
Hobbies/Interests: I love sunrises, Les Mis, sunsets, Hamilton, stars, Wicked (the musical, haha), warm summer evenings, Sound of Music, etc. Why I joined IV/what I'm excited for: I am super excited to serve with IVTCF new student outreach this coming year! God has been calling me to take this leap of faith with Him and to get involved with the great work He has started and will continue at SC. He has shown me truly how sweet it is to walk daily with Jesus and is opening my eyes to the plentiful harvest around me. My prayer is that we would be one as a body of Christ, grounded in His Word and in prayer, and that He would lead us to follow His example in loving and caring for our campus!
