Founders' Week Extra Credit

Being a Bonner Leader, I had to attend many of the events happening on Founders' Week (and help facilitate the programs). It was more fun, in my opinion to attend, rather than plan and prepare for the events. I attended milk and cookies with the Sisters last year. It was a new experience for me, having never been to the Province Center (nor knowing of its existence). I knew the Sisters lived somewhere on campus (even though the Province Center has its own address) but where, I had no idea. They put on a scavenger hunt that made us run all around the campus with clues and questions about our founders. I stumbled across crevices in the school, unearthing the hidden beauties on campus. In all honesty, Founders' week happened in a flash for me, and the event I remember most clearly was the panel of our SNDdN. The Sister Roseanne and Pat divulged in the history of our Founders, while Sister Liz (and I can't remember the other sister's name!!!) discussed the relevance of the Foundress' teachings through the work and death of Sister Dorothy Stang.
