Gardening with God
By Emily Salerno-Oswald Columnist This is the last article for the Troubadour that I will ever write. The first of many lasts as I approach the end of my time at Franciscan. There are so many unknowns from one day to the next, and the list of unknowns seems endless- never mind my future and […]
Letter from the Editor: Sense of place
By Mia Brounstein Editor-in-Chief Where am I going? I don’t mean in a metaphysical or theological sense; I’m talking literally.
