Lauren Royle
Student MinistRY Assistant
Evangelization Ministry
Hello Everyone my name is Lauren Royle and it is with great honor to be here at the CSC!
A little bit about me I was born in Ohio then moved to Texas when I was in 6th grade.
The Catholic faith has always been a huge part of my life. My major is education 4th-8th grade with special ed certification. I was heavily involved with Saint Anthony of Padua in The Woodlands ever since my sophomore year of high school.
One of my favorite things in the world is mission work I have been blessed with the opportunity to go down to Haiti for two summers and it truly changed my life.
I love to meet and talk with people if you need anything don't hesitate to come find me. And I like everything but broccoli.

Paul Oliver
Student ministRY ASSISTANT
Hi! My name is Paul and I am the Facilitator of the CSC Council at the Catholic Student Center!
I am the only Political Science major at the CSC, a dubious honor, and the only Statistical Methods minor as well; also a long-time member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church.
I was born in West Virginia, moved to Virginia, and finally settled in Texas at the age of 7; I've traveled across more than 30 states and ventured across the sea to Italy. I was in the Boy Scouts, and earned Eagle Scout from Troop 114 of Huntsville, Texas.
After graduating from high school, I spent a semester as a Catholic Seminarian at Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving, Texas.
I enjoy reading, hiking, swimming, and lots of talking. I am an avid follower of politics, and an obsessive book collector. I am a librarian, research assistant, and an instructor for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Finally, I enjoy taking long, moonlit walks in the woods, partially because there are no beaches nearby.

Joe Magee
Campus ministry Director
Hi. My name is Joe and I am the new (returning) Director of the CSC. I was at the CSC from 2002 - 2016, and I am excited to be back at Sam. I studied philosophy at the University of Saint Thomas in Houston, and received by doctorate in the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas in 1999. I have taught philosophy of religion at SHSU in the past, and am keenly interested in apologetics in order to address the intellectual obstacles that stand in the way of young people believing the good news that Jesus is the Son of God who died to save them from their sins.
I enjoy reading, writing and tinkering with my bike. I am very interested in all things medieval, science fiction and fantasy literature. I am a huge Star Wars and Tolkien nerd.

In the free time that I don't actually have, I am probably making puns, drinking coffee, reading, or watching Catholic speakers on YouTube.
