Excerpt from her Convocation Address in 2018
“You have an opportunity while here at SJC to find your inner calling.
Reverend Matthew Fox said you can't have music without silence so allow the 'between the notes' into yourself even though our culture is so busy-all notes and no silence.
You are surrounded on this campus with places where you can unplug and observe: the lake, the trails, the chapel, the pasture across the street.
Find your gladness, your inner tool box. Sharpen those tools. Find what the community needs and then connect it all together.”
