thesis defense
On Easter Monday I will defend my thesis in Caronport. This is an invitation ...
... to pray for me in these final stages of defending and proofreading
and / or
... to attend the defense, which is open to the public (if you're in the area): April 9th, 4:15 pm , room 113 in the seminary
and / or
... to read the thesis later. Once satisfied with the final product (probably after proofreading), I will post it on a website. Check back here in a few weeks for news of this.

Colleen Taylor's thesis asks the question, "What were the experiences of women in the early days of Briercrest?" Based on interviews with five women (including the Whittakers' daughter Jean, and Henry Hildebrand's first secretary), the thesis narratives bring forward stories of women that reveal themes previously unconsidered in writings by and about men. While the women's influence was often outside the classroom, they made immeasurable contributions to the schools and especially to the wider community.

Colleen, I will be praying for you tomorrow. You will do great because this paper is not written with your pen but with your heart. Actually believing what we write about makes all the difference and when His thoughts and ideas take president over ours on the matter then we are blessed regardless of the outcome. Peace to you, Lana
Colleen:
You did an amazing job at the defense! You were so articulate, informative and witty! I have no doubt you passed with flying colors! It helped me feel like as a Caronport woman, I am continuing the legacy of these fascinating women. THANK YOU!
