Colin joined Chi Alpha as a freshman at UGA. Realizing this would be a place for restoration and community on his campus, he quickly found a place to belong.

Having been so impacted by it, he is excited to give his peers the same opportunity for community, fellowship and friendship, that he had. Colin graduated in May 2021 with a double degree in Political Science and International Affairs.
