Megan Clancy

Hey friends!! My name is Megan, and I am the (co-) President of GW Catholics! I’ve lived most of my life in lovely Lexington, South Carolina, where I spent my days in the kitchen of my family’s pizzeria. 

Here at GW, I am a sophomore majoring in Political Science and Criminal Justice, and I hope to someday go to law school and become a public defender. Back when I was researching and applying to schools, I very quickly decided that I just had to go to school in DC (even though I had never been here before in my life!). At the time, I thought that the reason for this burning desire to go to school in a city I had never been to before was my nerdy love for the Constitution and American history (this is the best city in the country to be that kind of nerd, right??). But now I know that I needed to come to DC, to come to GW, because I needed to discover GW Catholics. 

When I found the Newman Center, I discovered the sanctuary I didn’t even know I was missing. I was welcomed into a genuine community radiating pure joy, and I fell in love with the Lord in a way I never conceived to be possible. My heart is bursting with joy and gratitude for the immeasurable ways I’ve been blessed through GW Catholics, and I cannot wait to share that joy with you this year! 

Know that YOU are invited!! You’re invited to come along and see what radical, beautiful things the Lord has in store for you and your heart. I so look forward to going on this incredible, wondrous journey with you this year.
