William Jewell College (my alma mater) is starting a Center for Justice and Sustainability, which Andy Pratt, the Vice President for Religious Ministries and Dean of the Chapel, will be directing for its first few years. I have accepted a position at the Center to help Dr. Pratt get it off the ground, as well as assist with many of his duties as Chaplain, including teaching a couple of college courses per semester. I am so excited! I will start off teaching 3 courses: Introduction to Ministry Skills, Meeting Human Needs & Alleviating Suffering, and supervising students in Ministry Internships. I will also be the sponsor of a ministry group on campus, as well as help out with Christian Student Ministries. And then, there's a whole other world of helping Dr. Pratt with the Center, which I am so excited about. Who knows what that will look like!

I will start Sept. 1, so I will get a whopping 2 whole weekend days off between jobs! Actually, that's orientation weekend for the first year students, so I'll probably be there to help out too. And it looks like I’ll be doing homework until then, preparing for the classes, which start that week. I suppose that’s the life of a professor (Just kidding!).
