Karli Lynn Province: Chi Alpha President

Our Campus Celebrity of the week is Karli Province! She’s been the president of the registered student organization, Chi Alpha Campus Ministries, since spring 2014.  Chi Alpha is a Christian ministry that meets on Thursday nights at 7 pm in the UC Theater. I had the chance to sit down and talk to Karli about her roles, duties, and what all she’s learned as president over the past year.

Name: Karli Province    

Hometown: Alta Loma, CA

HC: What is your major and what do you want to do with it?

KP: “I am a criminal justice major with a minor in psychology.  I want to go to law school or work in the FBI.”

HC: Where are your favorite places to go in Memphis?  Where also do you like to eat?

KP: “I love going to Midtown and of course the Tiger Den on campus! Mexican Deli Chivas (near Collierville) is my favorite place. It reminds me of Mexican food from California which is really hard to find outside of CA.”

HC: What do you like about being the president of Chi Alpha and what are your duties?

KP: “I like being pushed into a leadership role and being able to use my leadership qualities.  I am in charge of scheduling events and being at the events to represent Chi Alpha. I am also a leader in the organization.”

HC: What do you like about Chi Alpha?

KP: “The people. I have made some of the most genuine friends through Chi Alpha. It also brings a sense of community into my life.”

HC: What are some of the most important things you have learned while being in the leadership role?

KP: “Besides time management, I have been able to help others learn from my mistakes by sharing my experiences with them. If I can help one person learn from my mistakes, I am more than willing to share with them. Helping others is something I genuinely enjoy doing.”

HC: Why do you think students should get involved in RSOs at school?

KP: “Being involved gives you a sense of community. It’s easy to feel alone on such a big campus, so getting involved brings new friends into your life.”

HC: What’s something interesting about you?

KP: “I love to sing and make people laugh.”
