Samantha Derksen
I was born and raised in a small town outside of South Bend. My husband and I welcomed our first child this May. When I am not at Holy Cross College, you can find me in the kitchen baking or cooking or cheering at a basketball game.

Favorite South Bend Activity?
Walk the lake at the Grotto! I love walking here in each season and taking a special moment at the Grotto.

Favorite Sweet Treat?
Chocolate Chip and pretzel cookie – sweet and savory!

If you could only listen to one song?
“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

What is your favorite place to find peace in the Tri-Campus Community?
St. Joseph Chapel and the swing outside of Driscoll
