Class of 2028

gwen cahill

Hello! My name is Gwen Cahill (she/her), and I am a sophomore economics major with a data science minor here at Lafayette. I am from the small town of Clark, NJ. Chances are you will see me on campus, because I am always there for one thing or another. I am the Vice President of Spikeball club, a MSG leader for applied statistics, a part of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, and am co-treasurer of McKelvy! (shoutout Brian!). When I have free time, I love to play basketball, ski, and hang out with my friends and family (except my twin brother when he is at Lehigh). If you see me around, feel free to say hello!

 

Genevieve Chukwuonye

Salut!! I’m Genevieve and I’m a sophomore majoring in Biochemistry with a (hopeful) minor in music! I was born and raised in Nigeria but I now live in the UK with my family. I’m the Vice president of Newman Catholic Association this year, as well as being an Excel scholar in the chemistry department, participating in ISA (shoutout to my international besties!!!!), DCF ( shoutout to my Christian besties) and choir with the Music department. If I’m not sleeping in my bed or drowning in schoolwork at Skillman, I’m either playing my violin or hanging out with friends. I’m so hyped for McKelvy because it’s such a rich intellectual community! Looking forward to a great year :)

milan iezzi

Hi! My name is Milan Iezzi, I am a Government and Law and International Affairs dual major. I am from Savannah, Georgia. I am involved in Student Government, Lafayette Activities Program, Delta Gamma, the Office of Student Involvement, and the Excel Scholars Program. At Mckelvy, I am Co President of the Plant with my best friend and roommate, Kate! I love living and learning with and from my fellow scholars.

yoryi roque

My name is Yoryi Roque! I’m a Mathematics Major and Data Science Minor. I am a Peruvian American born in Virginia, and I love to represent my culture and show everything about it through dancing or playing music. I play futbol (soccer) and love interests in sports, and also love joyriding on my bike around campus. My main roles on campus are Salsa Club Vice President, Posse Leadership Scholar, CaPA Scholarship recipient, LIME Scholar, ISA Secretary, and Recreational Services Facility Monitor. McKelvy has been on my mind since my arrival on campus after the program hosted an outing for many scholar programs, including Posse, so I focused much of my time towards entering this program, where, since then, I love hanging out with the people I’ve met here through cooking, playing games, studying, or just talking!

libby ross

Hi! My name is Libby Ross. I am a sophomore Math and Gov/Law double major. Here on campus, I am the secretary of the Equestrian Team and the Salsa Club. I’m also a Dyer Fellow and a Marquis Fellow, and I work as a tour guide for admissions. In the Easton community, I help with the Wild and Holy program at College Hill Presbyterian Church, and I tutor at March Elementary through the America Reads program. I’m really excited for all of the interesting discussions my fellow scholars have planned, and studying in all of the random nooks and crannies throughout the house! Looking forward to a great first year in the house!

 

katie twiggar

Hey! My name is Katie Twiggar (she/her). I am currently working towards a dual degree in Integrative Bioengineering and International Studies. I’m so excited to learn more about everyone in the McKelvy community and beyond through house-sponsored events and discussions! In addition to being a McKelvy Scholar and Co-president of Plants at the house (with my bestie/ quad mate Milan), I am involved in research on campus, the outdoors society, SWE, FSL, and some club sports teams. Feel free to say hi if you see me on campus or walking around College Hill, I’d love to stop and chat!
