Emory University Chaplaincy Student Worker Spotlight
Robin Meyer (she/they) is from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is an Emory junior planning to graduate Spring 2027. They are working towards degrees in Environmental Science and Music. While at Emory, they have been involved in Emory Sound Collective ensemble, Bread Coffeehouse, and Sunrise Emory. What Robin likes best about working at OSRL is “the chance to interact with and learn from so many wonderful people!” Their current super power is the ability to eat ice cream from a cone surprisingly tidily, but the gift they’d like to have is the ability to speak and understand every language. When not working or studying, you might find them engaging in art of many different forms - drawing, writing, and much more, or eating apple pie.

Six Midwestern men — all survivors of childhood sexual assault at the hands of Catholic priests and clergy — come together to direct a drama therapy-inspired experiment designed to collectively work through their trauma.
