Rev. Dr. J. Henery University Chaplain;  Director of Communications 21 Sept. 2018 As do many St. Andrews faculty and staff, I wear a few different “hats” on campus, but the one I am now sharing is my role as your university chaplain with a pastoral message for our community. Too many years ago and in seminary in Chicago, I briefly studied with an extraordinary woman who had developed a five-stage theory about how we deal with death or suffering or loss.  She was Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and her theory was that

9/20/18 Thursday 11:30 AM Today (9/20), the disaster recovery company we’ve hired to lead our efforts to mitigate water damage in our buildings, as well as clean up and remove debris, is set up on campus with equipment and staff and is actively working.  At this point, the work is focused on the cafeteria and kitchen in the Belk Student Center and the first floor of the Morgan-Jones Science Center.  Repair work is already underway at the Equestrian Center farm house and other areas that suffered wind and rain damage during the storm.
