Christine Crossley

NLCP Class of 2024

Xavier University of Louisiana

While in college majoring in Public Health Sciences with a Chemistry minor, Christine exudes the confidence and engagement of an experienced upperclassman. “Along with my coursework, I stay active on campus through Chicago Club, Collegiate 100, the National Council of Negro Women, Chemistry Club, and the Pre-Alumni Council—each giving me space to grow as a leader and stay connected to my Xavier community,” adding that being involved in so many activities actually helps her to stay focused. “I’m excited about all the opportunities I’m building that support my career goals and help me stay grounded in service and networking.

"My advice for any current NLCP students or Phoenix Pact scholars is to pace yourself and stay consistent. College can feel overwhelming at times, but seek support, lean on your community, and never doubt your ability to succeed—you belong in every room you step into.”
