Interview with Anne Marie Wilson, Peer Ministry Coordinator
By Rachel Wilson, Class of 2013

When Elon Catholic Campus Ministry was looking for a new Peer Ministry Coordinator (PMC) last year, I immediately thought of my sister, Anne Marie Wilson, for the job. The PMC plays an integral role in encouraging Elon students to become involved in CCM and helping them to grow in their faith. Anne Marie was preparing to graduate from UNC-Wilmington and was the perfect person for the job. She is one of the kindest, most compassionate, and energetic people I know. It is already evident that her presence is having a positive impact on the participation and inclusion of Elon students in CCM.

What do you like best about being the PMC for Elon CCM?
AM: I love being a part of the students' faith development and helping them to become active in CCM. I enjoy working with Father Gerry and T, especially because they are so passionate about their jobs. And I really just enjoy working with the students to build a good, Catholic faith community at Elon.

What kind of CCM activities and programs have you become most involved in?
AM: I really love everything. I enjoy Wednesday Night Catholic, with its community Rosary and Mass, as a midweek time to regroup and renew my faith. I've also loved getting involved in the intramurals (flag football and soccer, thus far) and the nursing home visits because I get to see how active the students are in and around the community.

What do you hope to accomplish with your time here with Elon CCM?
AM: At the end of this amazing experience, I hope to say that I am leaving behind a stronger and more active faith community. I also hope to help it continue to grow for current and future students as a way to get involved with and help their community here at Elon University.
