NC State Graduate Christian Fellowship (GCF) People
Meet some of the people involved with GCF at NC State:
I am Victor, a PhD student in the Department of Chemistry, in the area of computational and theoretical Chemistry at NC State University, Raleigh. I was born and raised in Nigeria and I had my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria. My life and faith has been largely shaped by my experiences in Nigeria, making it an important part of my story. However, the last one year has opened me up to a new environment; providing new experiences, new people, new challenges among others. In all of these, GCF has offered me the gift of community, friendship and family simultaneously helping me to grow in my faith, and love people with the truth of the gospel. Aside school activities, I enjoy singing in the choir, playing tennis (though, not an expert), and coding.
Sean has been working towards his PhD in pure math. He grew up in the desert wastes of eastern Washington, which he much prefers to the humidity of North Carolina. Sean prefers to spend all of his time playing strategy board games, but concedes that some of the GCF meetings should be for Bible study. He also enjoys tennis, frisbee, and books of most kinds.
My name is Sophia, and despite having called North Carolina home for the past two years, my roots trace back to Nairobi, Kenya. I am deeply passionate about Civil Engineering and am currently pursuing my PhD. Beyond academia, I find solace in the great outdoors, often embarking on hikes and exploring new destinations whenever my schedule permits. As the semester begins, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with fellow students within GCF community and hopefully foster new friendships and experiences along the way.
