"I'm in a mind-mapping state of mind"

(My apologies to Billy Joel)

In these last few days before break, you may want to set up a meeting with your advisor to discuss the National Standards for Lay and Ecclesial Ministry--either for the end of this week or just after break.  Creating a mind-map, or working with the Google docs form (in beta!), is an optional but important part of your own self-assessment as a student discerning lay ministry in the Church.  A completed mind map can be a useful introduction of yourself within a portfolio as well, electronic or not.

This option has been introduced in Th 209 and Th 460, but if you are interested, please feel free to fool around with the options and make an appointment with your Theology department advisor.

And the winner of the SMU Elevator Pitch competition is...

PYM major Kelsi Watters!

Congrats to Kelsi for crafting and delivering the best one minute pitch to convince an "elevator rider" to support her cause.

Congrats to PYM Major Ashley Walz

Ashley and her student colleagues in Psychology were accepted by the American Psychological Association (APA) to present their research at their National Conference in Washington, D.C.  The title of the project is "The Body is a Temple: Does One's Relationship With God Affect One's Body Image?"

The conference will take place this summer, August 7th-10th, 2014.

Ashley is presenting in the Health Psychology Division, rather than the Student Research Division, which is an additional honor!


Congrats, Ashley!
