Welcome to the Waynesburg University Family!
WU Faculty & Staff,
Through a partnership with the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO), I am excited to announce a new staff member within the Center for Campus Ministry. Becky Juliano will begin to directly serve students on the campus of Waynesburg University as the Coordinator of Campus Ministry. After serving at First Presbyterian Church for almost 17 years in partnership with the CCO, Becky’s office will be directly on campus in the Center for Campus Ministry (1st floor Stover). With this addition, I (Chaplain Sumpter) have moved to Buhl 211, but will still be present in the Center for Campus Ministry.
Becky is VERY familiar with Waynesburg University and currently mentors a great number of students through her ministry as a CCO Campus Minister Over 10 years ago, Becky worked on campus as an Assistant Coach for the WU Women’s Soccer team and was an advisor for the Outdoors Club on campus Prior to ministering in Waynesburg, Becky played four years of collegiate soccer at Messiah College where she earned her undergraduate degree in Engineering in 1998 She went on to earn a master’s degree in Christian formation and ministry from Wheaton College in 2006 Becky is married to her husband, Mike, and has two children, and resides in Waynesburg, PA
