How do students address you?
At The Well This Week
We have some lovely things to share with you!
“It’s Doctor, Actually.” Dr. Joyce del Rosario reflects on how she manages the way students address her.
“I do not make concessions and offer that students could call me Dr. Joyce or Dr. D as a shortcut. Apart from the 80’s connotations of another Dr. Joyce, I would rather have them call me by my full surname than any shortcuts or compromise. My degree was in no way a compromise. My ancestors are not a compromise.”

“When Your Faith No Longer Feels Familiar” Jen Zamzow explores the questions we encounter as our faith grows and matures.
“Change is harder when it sneaks up on us. Death, divorce, miscarriage, job loss, depression — there is no shortage of ways in which our lives can suddenly be turned upside down and we’re left asking questions we weren’t prepared for: How could God let this happen? Where is God in all of this? Is God even real?”
