Cru Staff

Our staff are here because they love students. They listen, serve, hang out, teach, mentor, laugh with, guide and encourage. Like you, each are on a spiritual journey and have their own unique talents, stories, passions and struggles. Get to know them.

J.W. and Stephanie Betts

We are originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico and we've been on staff with Cru since 2001. We love hanging out with college students talking about our awesome savior Jesus. Before serving here in central NY, we were on staff in Sevilla, Spain, and Kearney Nebraska. Our life is an exciting adventure of faith. We've got four kids who we really love a lot: Jack, Josiah, Titus and Ruby. They keep us wild and crazy. Our family likes bikes, books and bean burritos from Taco Bell.
