Lori Chance is the Sustainability Program Coordinator.  With a Masters Degree in Community Psychology and a background in sociology, psychology and work in non-profit organizations, her interests include community organizing and awareness, social change and sustainability. Raising her two children, now 22 and 20 on a 17 - acre farm has allowed her to explore her own passion for creation care and land stewardship. On their farm, they house several horses and chickens which help to support the important nutrients that go into their family gardens. Lori is excited to be a part of a team of enthusiastic students in their efforts to protect the earth and make a healthier future for Messiah’s campus.

Hannah is a sophomore Biology major. As the new biodiversity coordinator, her tasks include maintaining Messiah’s forested areas, managing invasive species, and educating students on the importance of biodiversity. Hannah’s passion for biodiversity originates from the nearby Adirondack Mountains where she grew up. From 2019-2022 she worked as an employee with Robillard’s Plant City, a small family-owned greenhouse. If Hannah wasn’t tending to plants, you could find her leaving for weekend trips to Lake Placid in an attempt to become an ADK 46R. Hannah is grateful and excited for her opportunity to work in the sustainability office. Hannah often spends her time immersing herself in the beauty of nature, you can catch her spending time with friends, studying, or learning fun facts about invertebrates.
