Meet the 2023-34 LCs
from Fall 2023 Quarterly
Meet the LCs!
Do we wish that we could have caught the premiere of the "Barbie" movie with the rest of the LC team? You betcha! Not only are this year's LCs stepping on campuses with their bold, pink, sparkly outfits, they are also enjoying quiet time with their Kindles and favorite podcasts and sharing inspiration with others. They're confident, caffeinated and living their best College Grad Era. The sisterhood is strong with the 2023-24 LCs!
This year the LC program welcomes back Bri Heverin and Liz Peterson, you may be surprised to learn that these fellow Swifties both love a vanilla cold brew. You might catch Bri donning platform shoes and Rare Beauty liquid blush, her favorite items in her wardrobe right now. First impressions start with, "Putting your best self forward with a smile and your favorite outfit!" Which we think is a fitting motto for her inner wannabe fashion designer. Liz P. is all about trying new things this season, new podcasts, puppy yoga and her newest TikTok purchase, blue telescopic mascara. While we still fully support her childhood dream of being Hannah Montana, the influence that inspires her the most is, of course, her mom, grandmothers, and this quote from her dad, "If you get excited about the small things in life, you’ll have more to get excited about.” We appreciate her optimism, enthusiasm and affinity for buffalo chicken pizza.
Excited to welcome our four new LCs this year, we start our introductions with Annie Winkler. Her two best friends would describe her as hardworking, caring and driven. With a macadamia nut cold brew in one hand and a firm handshake with the other, Annie's tip for a great first impression is being present and engaged in conversation. Some of her favorite things include the "Miss Congeniality" podcast hosted by Eli Rallo, her Kindle and Alpha Gamma Disco Bid Day themes! One piece of advice that she often shares with others is, "Other people should bring you happiness, but they should never be your source of happiness."
Liz Gartland is also proud to admit her favorite influenced purchase is her Kindle, too! We love her outdoorsy personality like she loves her Chacos, "My Chacos would describe me as spirited, nature-loving and a little clumsy!" One piece of advice from a camp counselor that has stayed with her through the years is, "Be Willing. Be Flexible. Be Joyous.” Liz G. looks up to several influential women in leadership, including Hannah Neeleman (Mrs. American 2023), women's health advocates, Maddie Miles and Sarah Tilse, and listens to "The Health Code Daily" podcast. We'd join Liz G. for one of her makeshift charcuterie Girl Dinners anytime, paired with her favorite: cortado with a splash of local honey; yes, please!
Another relatable Girl Dinner we'd love to join is with Lindy Rose. Her go-to on-the-road Girl Dinner is ChicFil-A chicken nuggets with fries, Diet Dr. Pepper and Polynesian sauce. Nothing goes together better than Chic-Fil-A and her favorite saying, Jeremiah 29:11, "It's my favorite verse that I always lean on when I need encouragement." She is a music buff with star-studded wardrobe vibes, frequently wearing her favorite white and silver sparkly star skirt on campus visits. Inspired by her great-grandmother's heart of service, one day, she hopes to work with a big nonprofit organization.
Last, but certainly not least, we welcome Priya Nangia! Her friends would describe her as joyful, dedicated and always with a Coke Zero in hand! Growing up she dreamed of being a doctor, these days she loves a good crime junkie podcast. Priya is inspired by her Chapter Advisors, and lives by sage advice: "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger," and, "You can't light yourself on fire to keep other people warm." Priya has learned to light up a room with a smile, her best tool for making a great first impression. We can't help but feel a resurgence of this trend, as Priya also carries a Kindle, one of her favorite influenced purchases that is 100% worth it!
