Students

Recently, LMU students have reported
a Peeping Tom in the Westchester area
surrounding the back gates. This person
has not yet been identified, but the
residents of two households have found
tools indicating that he or she has been
watching them.
Junior health and human sciences
major and Westchester resident Charlotte
Cronenweth discovered traces of the
intruder at her house on Kenyon Avenue
on Jan. 21.
“We had an attempted break-in a few
weeks ago, but upon further discoveries
we realized that now it was most likely
a Peeping Tom,” Cronenweth said. “We
found cement pavers outside - under our
bedroom windows - that he was using as
a stool, as well as a hand-built ladder that
he hid under our house to look into our
bathroom window.”

Various LMU staff members
didn’t let graduation end
their University experience.

Patrick Furlong’s (’06) LMU experience
was spent traveling and learning about the
world on service trips and programs, which
led him to reflect on the meaning of his life.
However, this didn’t end once he graduated.
Furlong continued to do post -graduate service
and work in social justice, and he eventually
returned to LMU to work in Campus Ministry
and immersion programs.
Furlong’s time at LMU and the time
he spent in other countries around other
cultures while attending LMU provided him
with opportunities “to learn more about
the world through a lens of solidarity.” Now,
as an alumnus, he has the opportunity to
watch students undergo the growth that he
experienced as an undergraduate .
The LMU experience doesn't always end at
graduation, and many alumni, like Furlong,
stay connected to LMU by becoming staff
members in the community. The University
has provided an array of opportunities for those
who want to continue their LMU experience
after walking across the stage, and those who
have taken these opportunities have embraced
their passions and helped enrich students
in the same way that they were enriched as
students.
Lydia Ammossow (’94) began her work in
the Student Affairs office at LMU the Monday
after her commencement. Since she graduated
with her European studies major and business
administration minor, she has worked with
Student Affairs, academics, resident ministry,
KXLU and the Del Rey Players. Among these
experiences, her favorite part of LMU is “the
community of extraordinary human beings
that inhabit this place and continually work
to elevate it.” Ammossow currently lives as the
resident minister of O’Malley Apartments.
“Resident ministry provides dynamic and
profound ways in which staff members get
to journey with students,” she said. “It’s a
wonderful other side to my work at LMU.”
Like Ammassow, Samantha Hartman
(’10) has been closely connected to the LMU
community since she graduated with a
sociology major. Attending LMU helped her
find her passion and grow into the person
that she is today. Now, as an alumna, the LMU
community is her family. Hartman currently
works as the campus minister for Service and
Spirituality, which gives her the opportunity
to attend and lead different LMU service
functions. She explained, “Overall, I basically
get to help students live out the mission of
LMU: being a man and woman with and then
for others.”
“LMU is such a huge part of who you are,
and as an [alumna], you join this huge family
of people who are like -minded,” Hartman said.
“There are so many resources that can help you
find a job, meet new people in a new city and
just share fun stories with. The heart of a lion
continues to beat once you’ve graduated and
are no longer living on The Bluff.”
