A PRAYER FOR APRIL
BY KATIE HIGGINS '99, VICE PRESIDENT OF MISSION
|
God With Us,
Accompany us as we enter into the mystery
of Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection.
In the midst of our doubts,
our sufferings, and our sorrows,
assure us of your loving presence
and gentle power at work
bringing forth love in the face of fear,
bringing forth hope when all seems lost,
bringing forth life out of death.
May our journey with you
transform us ever more fully
into an Easter people
of love, hope, and life.
Amen.

For her Genesis Experiment, Helanea Carney '21 created a website for those interested in finding out more about what it takes to become a Nurse Practitioner. During the research phase of her project, she conducted interviews and was mentored by alumna Meredith Lahl Fox '95, who serves as the Executive Chief Nursing Officer for
Cleveland Clinic! Helanea will attend
The Ohio State University this fall.
"My Genesis experience allowed me to explore a possible career option in depth while making connections to similar jobs!
The experience informed me of the many roles and responsibilities of a Nurse Practitioner and opened me up to explore other career options.''

Carys Varga '21 had the opportunity to shadow a speech pathologist at Lakeshore Speech Therapy as she discerns which career path she will pursue when heading to Miami University next year. Each day she worked with children with autism, muscular dystrophy, speech impediments with letters, and other speech challenges.
"Something that inspired me from my Genesis experience was that this career path allows you to become so close to all of the children you are helping, and form such strong relationships. I was really moved by being able to see how a little improvement can build up and mean so much! My experience also helped me to realize how much I love working with kids!"

On March 4 and March 6, we were thrilled to welcome the
