CU Campus Ministry Staff
John Wilhelm is a graduate of Robert Morris University (2016), completing his Bachelors of Science degree in Organizational Leadership.
Cultivating the next generation of leaders is a passion of John's, which is why he is so passionate to work with college students, and share the gospel with them. Whole life discipleship is his primary focus in ministry, believing that God works best through our relationship with Him and those around us.
“College students are our future, and equipping these students to live out their faith in all aspects of their lives is my passion,” says John. “Without the work of my campus ministers in college and the impact that the CCO had on my life, my faith and walk with Christ would not be where it is today. I want to use my experience as a way to give thanks to God for how He changed my life through this organization, and to be a guide to college students as they navigate their faith in their crucial college years.”

Nate Tyger is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania (2019) with a degree in Psychology.
“I was involved with the CCO in college and fell in love with what this ministry was doing for and with college students,” says Nate. “I have always had an interest in risk behavior in adolescence—why teens do not like to listen or get themselves hurt or in trouble. After going through college and studying the topic, I learned the biology and psychology of why we sin. This gave me a whole new direction and a love for college students and how God can pull them away from risky behaviors and into a new and better life.”

CU Campus Ministry Fellow
Emily Blaker is a graduate from Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus (2020) with a degree in Psychology.
“My campus minister helped me find my way back to Christ, and I would love to do the same for other college students,” says Emily. I was involved with CCO campus ministry for 4 years at my campus and spent 3 years as a student leader. “Nearly 70% of college students walk away from their faith when they start school, which is really sad. I would love to introduce or re-introduce students to Christ.”
