SwedeHearts - Melissa '14 & Jason '13 Mihalcin

February 17, 2022

Melissa (Pressnall) Mihalcin (class of 2014) and Jason Mihalcin (class of 2013). We met in a Chemistry class with Dr. Lockyear. We were the math/science tutors in the evenings, got to know each other and became good friends. We both dated other people throughout college and we stayed in touch frequently after graduation. It wasn't until late 2015 while I was in graduate school that we started dating. We got married in 2019,  moved out to Colorado, and are now expecting a baby boy in May!
