What is Freshley?
Freshley is all about helping you find your place in God’s story, at Carolina, and in Wesley. Each week will begin with ice breakers and games to help you meet other first-years, and then the Freshley Team will lead a small group time to connect Scripture to your life as a first-year student.

Marisa Romanat
Champion Arm Wrestler
Hi friends! I’m Marisa (she/her/hers) and I’m a sophomore at UNC, double majoring in Psychology & Religious Studies. Some of my favorite things include hikes in the Western U.S., sunset walks through UNC's campus, cooking vegan food, and wearing Carolina Blue. UNC Wesley has been a grounding and welcoming space for me during the highs and lows of college. The people in this ministry reflect the image of God through their bold compassion and intentionality in meeting people where they are. I’m excited to be able to lead freshmen this year in small group and continue to foster that kind of environment where everyone is invited to the Table!
Kevin Towers

I'm Kevin Towers (he/him/his) and I am in my second year at Duke Divinity School. Before coming to North Carolina I attended Auburn University where I got a degree in Psychology. I enjoy playing video games, going to movies, playing sports, eating chips and queso, and going on hikes in either the eastern or western United States. I am excited to help with Freshley this year because I know the huge changes that your first year of college brings and I love being a resource and relief to people who are going through such a foundational time.
Camden Whitlock
Supreme Hamster Mom
Hi! My name is Camden Whitlock (she/her/hers) and I am a rising sophomore in UNC Wesley. I grew up within the Methodist Church at Dilworth United Methodist in Charlotte, NC and became involved with Wesley after encouragement from my youth group leader. I enjoy Wesley as a continuation of the love and community I’ve always been a part of through the church, whether that is through service, small groups, social activities or missions. On campus, I am also a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, serving on their 2021-22 executive chair, a member of the UNC marathon team, and a yoga instructor for UNC campus recreation.
