Meet Hall Staff!
Our Hall Staff are here to guide, support, and cheer on every Weasel. They are the true heart of the Purple Palace & make it feel like home each & every day.
Annie Boyle - Rector
Hello everyone! I am so honored to serve as your rector in Pasquerilla West Hall. I attended Notre Dame for my undergraduate education, and the friendships I formed in my hall (Welsh Fam) are relationships I continue to treasure. I also received my Master of Theological Studies at ND and, while in grad school, served as an assistant rector. Prior to becoming a rector, I worked for a number of years in Campus Ministry at the University of Portland. I can’t wait to hear your stories and to walk with you during your time at ND.
Lily Knickman - Assistant Rector
Hi Pdub! My name is Lily Knickman, and I'm SO excited to be one of your new Assistant rectors! I am originally from Festus, Missouri, but I've lived in Walsh Hall my past four years here at Notre Dame. I'm a current senior graduating with a degree in accounting and a minor in sustainability, and next year, I'll be working towards my masters in Accounting. When I'm not in the classroom, I love movies, puzzles, LEGO, and game shows. I can't wait to meet all of you in person.
Lauren Serfas - Assistant Rector
Hi ladies! My name is Lauren Serfas and I am thrilled to be joining Pasquerilla West as an AR next school year! I am currently a dual MBA and Master of Global Affairs student at Notre Dame, interested in the intersection of social impact and business! However, my journey here was not quite linear...I studied bioengineering as an undergraduate student, entered religious life for about a year and a half, worked on sustainable development projects in Kenya, Rwanda, Fiji, and Peru, and participated in a consulting fellowship before pursuing graduate school here at Notre Dame! Outside of the classroom, I love running, playing pickleball, dancing, cross stitching, and playing board games! I look forward to walking together with all of you in this formative and sacred journey!
Meet the RAs!
These incredible Weasels are here to help make PDub feel like home.
