2026-27 Kairos Officer Team
Ashtyn Stock -
PRESIDENT OF KAIROS
Grade - Senior
Major: Biology, Pre-PA; Minor: Kairos, Chemistry
I think something distinct about Kairos is the students' desire to remain lifelong learners and see the beauty in the mundane. This incredible environment is strengthened because students genuinely care for one another. I hope that Kairos continues to be a place where people feel seen and known for years to come!
Fun Fact: I love travel and culture! I have been to four continents and all 50 states. Some of my favorite memories are from trekking in Nepal and working at a hospital in Ethiopia. I think we learn a lot about ourselves and the character of God by meeting people from all over the world and I hope to live overseas long-term one day!

CHAPLAIN
Grade - Senior
Major: Psychology; Minor: Kairos, Religion
Kairos, "God's appointed time" as I understand it, is a perfectly fitting name for the community and program that overwhelmingly meets my classmates and I where we are at, calls us to our greater teleology, and helps us fulfill the calling God has given each of us. My curiosity and love for learning still continues to expound in college being surrounded by others who love to learn. This has been a holistically edifying experience I wish to carry with me every I go. While the academics are indeed inspiring, this is certainly not just an academic program. The spiritually enriching community has prompted me to serve the program in return as a chaplain this year.
Fun Fact: I love to garden and cook! Something deep in my soul hopes and believes these activities will be habitual in heaven.
Brooklynn Pearson -
VP OF EVENTS
Grade - Junior
Major: Classics; Minor: Kairos, History
Kairos has been my favorite community on campus, one built on love of learning, commitment to study, and desire for the Creator of all things. The culture of Kairos is always evolving, but what remains is the respect and attention paid to our peers within the many discussions happening in and out of the classroom.
Fun Fact: I enjoy writing as one of my hobbies. Often, when I'm reading a good book, I'll become so overwhelmed by the writing, the story, etc. that I'm struck with inspiration, forced to put the book down in favor of writing my own story.

VP OF MEDIA
Grade - Senior
Major: Digital Media- Journalism; Minor: Kairos, Social Work
I am honored to run socials and to work on media for this program. Each event promoted and documented means memories are both made and preserved. Kairos was the reason I came to Lee University; Kairos was where it 'clicked' and Lee made sense as the college to attend. Through the community we have established, and the fellowship we are able to cultivate, this very diverse yet well-rounded group, has been a sweet offering on campus. I have loved being an officer and 'capturing the moment' at each event. From worship nights to taking over coffee shops to the random quotes in the GroupMe, I clearly couldn't have come to a better campus. I would choose Kairos again and again.
Fun Fact- Converse are always my shoe of choice.
Dagny Taylor -
VP OF RECRUITMENT
Grade - Senior
Major: Classics, Minor: Kairos, Political Science
I grew up in a Classical Christian school, so I wanted to have a similar community of people who were just as excited about learning and faith as I was. I immediately fell in love with the program and the students. I found some of my closest friends and favorite professors through Kairos. Since the program has had such a big impact on me, I wanted to be an officer in order to be able to give back to the program in some way. As the VP of Recruitment, I get to review all the incoming freshmen applications, and it is so exciting to get to play a part in shaping the future of Kairos.
Fun Fact: I did ballet for 16 years!
Hannah Joseph -
SECRETARY
Grade - Junior
Major: Biomedical Sciences, Pre-Med; Minor: Kairos
Kairos has been so influential towards shaping my story here at Lee and carving a path for my future! Kairos has brought me my amazing roommates, so many new friends, a place to share my talents and interests, and a place that has allowed me to grow in my academic endeavors and faith journey! I hope that as Kairos continues to grow, more people would be able to find community and share the love of Christ through this amazing program!
Fun Fact: I hope to serve in medical missions after med school! Helping people, sharing God's love, and traveling the world with my family and friends is something I cannot wait to do!

VP OF STEWARDSHIP
Grade - Junior
Major: Marketing; Minor: Kairos, Spanish
I love Kairos because it allows me to surround myself with thoughtful peers who desire to commit themselves to excellence in all that they do. We are more than an honors program; we're a living learning community, and it's quickly become my home at Lee. Through Kairos, I've met my best friends and because of Kairos' diversity, life is never dull. Whether it's a late-night study session, or Kairos athletics, there's aways something to get involved in. Aside from the communal aspect, I also love that the classes and professors encourage you to think deeper, allowing you to intentionally engage with the content. We have some of the best professors in the world who deeply care about your development: personal and academic.
Fun Fact: I can spin a basketball on my finger, and I can do a pistol squat!
Nathanael Hill -
VP OF SCHOLARSHIP
Grade - Junior
Major: Psychology, English Writing; Minor: Kairos
I joined Kairos because I love the idea of a learning focused community, and since then I really connected with people -- and it's become my home at Lee, so to speak. Kairos Writing Community especially are my people. I enjoy having a group who thinks the same lines that I do, but are also unique and interesting -- and I can have good, intelligent conversations with about virtually any topic (as well as enjoy Christian fellowship with) or just hang out and have fun together.
Fun Fact: I'm a prolific fantasy writer and worldbuilder. I love fantasy, words, characters, themes, philosophies and just everything that can be explored through that fiction. I love researching things to inform my writing (I have a pretty extensive personal library which ranges through pretty much every area of academic study) and I love seeing what happens when I put well built, psychologically complicated characters in an equally complex world. I think it's the most fun you can have with your brain.
