Cheyenne Schuster, Rector of Walsh Hall
[email protected] | Apartment: 574-631-9859

Picture
Cheyenne grew up on a farm on the outskirts of a town called Blackwater, Missouri. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience and Theology. During her time at ND, she was a mentor for Notre Dame Vision and served as an intern in the Office of Campus Ministry where she discovered her passion for faith and service to the Church. After college, she pursued her Master’s in Theology through Notre Dame’s Echo Graduate Service Program while serving at Christ Our Light parish in Cherry Hill, NJ. She served in a variety of ministries and had the privilege of getting to know and serve the people of South Jersey for two years. She is now beginning her second year as Rector of Walsh Hall! She is engaged to her wonderful fiancé Aibel who is a high school campus minister in Hammond, IN. In her free time, Cheyenne enjoys playing sand volleyball, going for walks, and watching The Office.

When asked about being a Rector at Notre Dame, Cheyenne commented, “I love accompanying students through formative years and experiences. College is just the beginning of asking the deepest questions of our lives and I believe an important part of that journey is having a loving and supportive community around you that also isn’t afraid to challenge you to be your best self. The Notre Dame community strives to be that and I am blessed to contribute to it in a special way for the women of Walsh Hall.”

What is a rector?

A Rector is a full-time staff member who lives in Walsh with us (Cheyenne's apartment and office are on the first floor right off the lobby). Some of your friends at other schools might have separate people who function as Hall Directors and Resident Ministers; a Rector is basically a combination of these things. She is in charge of the logistics of the building, oversees all events and programming, serves as a pastor of the community, and builds relationships. Basically, #allthethings.
