Cassandra D. Edwards, EdD '25, wrote "Finding Purpose Through Ordinary Moments: My Community Was My Classroom,” reflecting on the people, places, relationships, joys, and losses that shaped the woman she was becoming long before she understood her calling. https://a.co/d/0b7Z8kKA
From her childhood home and neighborhood to marriage, motherhood, community organizing, ministry, higher education, and the unimaginable loss of her beloved son, every season became part of her education. Edwards shares how lived experience became knowledge, how service became leadership, and how grief became a responsibility to help strengthen families and communities.
