In the Fall of 2014, Catholic Campus Ministry welcomed FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) missionaries to collaborate with the full-time staff in ministering to WSU.
FOCUS is a national college outreach, with mission aries on 100+ campuses in the US. Typically, FOCUS will send four missionaries (two male and two female) to minister to students on campus through one-on-one discipleship and Bible studies. Missionaries are recently-graduated college students who participate in training programs and commit to at least two years of service within FOCUS.
FOCUS missionaries work alongside CCM staff to lead Bible Studies and train student leaders. They work under the guidance of the Director and Campus Minister to create disciples at Wright State University.
This years' FOCUS missionaries include:
Kelsey McCullough (Team Director)
kelsey.mccullough@focus.org
Kelsey is a graduate of the University of North Dakota, which is in her home town of Grand Forks, ND which is the hockey capital of the World. While in school, she studied Community Nutrition, learning about health, prevention and wellness. During her time in college, she lived a pretty okay life, all things were going well. But, something was missing…realizing this began the greatest adventure she has been on yet! After graduating, Kelsey was sent as a FOCUS Missionary to the University of South Dakota.
This is Kelsey’s 2nd year in the “Exotic Land of Ohio” as a Team Director. She enjoys most things, but in particular adventures, coffee, music, good conversation and laughing.
Becca Rodeheffer
rebecca.rodeheffer@focus.org
Becca grew up in sunny northern California, playing soccer, selling fresh lemonade, and writing songs about her cats. She went to college at the University of Denver and majored in Hospitality Management, aka, how to throw a good party with class. After four awesome years of backyard bonfires, snowboarding, and falling deeply in love with Jesus, she was stoked to become a missionary and share with college students the love and joy she had found in her Catholic faith. Last year, she served at the University of Rochester in upstate New York and barely avoided being buried alive in the snow. Coffee, hiking, and powerhouse female saints are some of her greatest loves, and she can't wait to embark on this new adventure at Wright State with you all!
Sam Rasp
Samuel.Rasp@focus.org
After growing up in Owensboro, Kentucky, Sam entered college seminary at Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary in Indianapolis in 2012 for his home diocese of Owensboro, Kentucky. After two years, he discerned that God was calling him away from his discernment of the priesthood and moved onto campus at Marian University to pursue a degree in Theology. During his senior year in college, Sam felt the Lord moving him to join FOCUS as a missionary after graduation. At the start of his journey with FOCUS, Sam was placed here with us, at Wright State, to be a missionary. This will be Sam's third year here as apart of the FOCUS team.

Matt went to college at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti Michigan where he majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry.
