Karen graduated from U.C. Riverside in 1984 with a degree in International Relations, after which she worked on Capitol Hill (Ways and Means Committee) for a year. During that time, she felt convicted that she needed more training in how to have a ministry, and so joined staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. She met her husband, David Mahan, while she was assigned to Dartmouth College. Afterwards, they came to Yale and have been serving here (with CCC) for twenty years. They have three children: Jessica, 15 and a freshman in high school, Tristan, 12 and Natalie, 11. Karen’s time is occupied with homeschooling Natalie and Tristan, as well as ministering to graduate women and faculty wives at Yale.
