Michele and her family are heading to Washington, DC from May 9th to May 15th so that Michele can receive her Doctor of Ministry from Wesley Theological Seminary. When Michele began as the interim director of religious education with this congregation, she had already completed the course work in Cambridge, England and was part-way through researching and writing her project thesis. Now she has fully completed her thesis and will graduate on Monday, May 13th at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Michele wants to thank the Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign on their support of the final stages of this project.
