Vanessa Nicholas-Schmidt:

It has been a number of years since the back-to-school advertisements have caught my attention.  I remember as a student having butterflies in my stomach when I saw those ads – nervous about new teachers, excited about seeing friends, sad to see summer ending, looking forward to learning ... Well the butterflies are back!

As many of you know, I will be taking an eight month leave from my position as Faith Connections Program Director to pursue full time Theological Studies at Regis College, University of Toronto.
