COMPASS links students, professors, campus ministers, and dynamic professionals from every field in a network of present and future Catholic leaders. "COMPASS People" gives you a chance to get to know your fellow COMPASS members, to remind you that you are not alone in your efforts to take college life in a new direction. Each week we'll give you one or two new profiles, and we'll leave the past few for your browsing pleasure.
