Reverend Megan LeCluyse serves as the Campus Minister and Director of the Christian Association. She came to the CA in August 2012 after completing a dual degree at Princeton Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Christian Education). She also serves on staff in a very part-time capacity at the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia.

As an undergraduate, Megan attended the University of Arizona, where she majored in English and minored in History and Religious Studies. She played piccolo in the marching band all four years, which was an incredible experience (and a ton of work). She also was very involved in the Presbyterian Campus Ministry. Her own experience of campus ministry was one of the best parts of her time in college, and where she formed the friendships that have lasted until today.

Outside the CA, Megan pursues numerous interests. As a transplant from Arizona, she tries to be outdoors whenever it is sunny out. This might be hiking, or more often, reading a magazine or novel on her patio. She lives with her sister, Annie, and Penny, a 4 year old mixed-breed, head strong pup.

Shelton Nalley serves as a part time office manager here at the CA, assisting both Megan and Patty (from Muslim Life Program). He came to the CA in the Fall of 2019 after moving to Philadelphia from Washington D.C.

A southern transplant from North Carolina, Shelton holds a BA in Philosophy from Christopher Newport University, and an Masters in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity. He is currently pursing doctoral studies at Georgetown University in Theology. His focuses is on the theological intersection of Christianity and Islam with an emphasis on the thought and works of St. Thomas Aquinas and Muḥyiddīn Ibn al-ʿArabī. His dissertation topic explores the relevance of friendship as a theological category and its application for contemporary Christian-Muslim engagement.

Aside from his studies and duties at the CA, Shelton is an avid reader of Stephen King. While he does not have an absolute favorite, his top recomendations include Revival, Duma Key, IT, and King's mangum opus, The Dark Tower series. He plays guitar, and loves basketball, and lives with his 1 year old puppy Rumī.

Bill has volunteered with the CA for over two decades, leading and teaching the Slanguage program! His passion for language and providing hospitality to international members of the community goes back to his decision in 1957, as a teenager, to begin studying Russian on his own. He majored in Russian and has a Ph.D. in economics from Rice University. In recent years, he has become interested in the work of his grandfather (Rev. William Kelly, MD), a medical missionary who went to China in 1899 and spent most of his adult life there. After a visit to China in 1997 Bill began to develop a hospitality ministry at the CA for international students, known as Slanguage. He currently is trying to learn some Swahili as part of his clean-water work in Kenya.

In addition to his work with the CA, Bill is engaged in volunteer work at his church, Christ Presbyterian Church (Marlton, NJ) where he is active in mission work. He has travelled to Cuba and Kenya to help install and maintain water filtration systems, providing communities with drinkable water through Living Waters.
