My Activities at the University

Many of my activities at Holy Family are history related. For instance, I authored a history of the University for its fiftieth anniversary, and I maintain a time line chronicling its activities. I also teach one or two history courses each semester and have prepared an online glossary for my students. As a Sister of the Holy Family of Nazareth, I have been privileged to share my community life with Sisters who have dedicated their lives to God and service to our brothers and sisters. To provide some recognition to those who have died in that service, for many years I maintained a memorial to share their life stories with those who visited this site. Currently, I am engaged in new ventures, utilizing my recent degree in library science and specialization in archives management. See below for more information about these activities.
