The name's TJ Marchesani. He is a sophomore studio art major with a concentration in digital design and media. TJ loves competing in anything from pick-up games to the nerf gun wars on my floor.

Morgan Marsicano

"M&M"

Junior

English Major, Art Minor

Morgan hails from the kingdom of Allentown, New Jersey (no, not PA), a town the size of Messiah's campus with a population only half as interesting. She loves being outdoors, whether she's up a tree, running, rock climbing, or horseback riding. She also enjoys playing frisbee and soccer, and when she isn't wandering around in the woods, she's inside reading, drawing, playing piano or destroying Max in Smash Brothers. She doesn't bite, so feel free to say hi if you see her walking around campus.

Josh Curtis

Senior

History Ed. Major

Born the son of world conqueror and prestigious pharmacist Tom and water bottle distributor Heather, Josh was conflicted at a young age as to what his future should be. Should he follow in his father’s or mother’s footsteps? During the years of adolescence, Josh befriended a giant osprey and would ride him to school. But one day after the osprey dropped Josh off at school he was shot by a hunter and killed. Josh was crushed and could not bring himself to finish his homework. That is until; a group of falcons came to Josh’s window and consoled him. Years later when it was time to choose a college the decision was easy Josh would attend Messiah College home of the falcons. In all reality I look forward to this year and working with Rec. Sports.
