Getting up at 3:30 a.m. to get to the airport by 4:30 a.m. is never fun.  But it was for a Fund for Theological Education (FTE) Alumni consultation meeting; so I felt alright about compromising my sleeping hours. The FTE Alumni consultation was held at Chicago Temple-United Methodist Church at 9 a.m. on Friday November 16, 2012.

Since 2009, I have been involved in the American Academy of Religion’s (AAR) Women’s Mentoring Luncheon.  It is a great opportunity to share a lunch with a junior or senior women scholar to discuss anything from job search to research projects.  It is also a time of renewal, advice and friendship.  This year’s registration for the luncheon is now open.

I hope that if you are interested in this special event, you will consider registering early.  Contact me if you have any questions.
