Program Organizer

I'm Ayo and I'm a Program Organizer for RSL. I am from Lagos, Nigeria and I'm an Interdisciplinary Major with a focus on environmental studies and art. On campus, you can find me biking around, working on the Book and Plow farm, painting, and dancing. I look forward to integrating art into this role, celebrating BIPOC spiritual practices, and promoting a culture of mindfulness at Amherst.

Climate Justice Organizer

My name is Melanie Huq, and I'm the Climate Justice Organizer for RSL!

I'm a physics major from the Class of 2025. When I'm not studying, you can catch me at Mock Trial practice or jogging on the bike path. I'm excited to be working with RSL and the Amherst community, in order to use faith and spirituality to mobilize for and guide sustainability and environmental justice.

Program Organizer

I'm Natasha and I am one of the program organizers for RSL. I am an international student in the class of 2025 and my prospective majors are Neuroscience and French. I love to spend my free time in nature, painting, or reading. Working for the RSL this year, I hope to bring more interfaith dialogue on campus, as well as focus on social justice initiatives in connection to spiritual and religious life.
