Michelle Dodson C’03, biblical and theological studies alumna, shares why she chose 天美传媒.<\/h2>\n

As it turned out, 天美传媒 was a great fit for Michelle. \u201cThe relationships that I built at 天美传媒 are what I enjoyed the most,\u201d she says. \u201cI have had the privilege of doing life and ministry with many of those people to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, she says, Michelle\u2019s experience inside and outside of the classroom as a biblical and theological studies major helped prepare her professionally for the work she does in ministry today. \u201c天美传媒 was a great training ground for what I do,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was as a student there that I got my first experiences leading in the areas of racial righteousness.\u201d Serving in campus ministry and engaging with college diversity \u201chelped me develop a theology of racial reconciliation. It also gave me opportunities to learn how to communicate that theology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michelle serves as associate pastor of New Community Covenant Church in Bronzeville, a neighborhood on Chicago\u2019s South Side. She describes New Community as \u201can intentionally multiracial congregation that actively pursues racial reconciliation and social justice.\u201d She\u2019s currently working toward a PhD in sociology with a focus on multiracial congregations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
