“I love bringing people together, listening to people’s needs and putting together common interests. This is what campus ministry is really about.”
-- Therese Inkmann
Therese Inkmann, Campus Ministry Coordinator, has an admirable enthusiasm for her job that permeates chapels, community service projects, class retreats, quick responses to special needs—every aspect of the school’s campus ministry. As a member of the Guidance and Counseling staff, she also is on call to help a struggling student or support the campus community through an unexpectedly emotional time.
An English and Religious Studies major at Santa Clara University, Ms. Inkmann taught at other independent schools before joining the Priory. Just before joining the school almost
five years ago, Ms. Inkmann spent four months at a silent monastery in California; an experience that she says brought focus to her life.
During her second year at WPS, Therese re-introduced the concept of service learning, which integrates
course work with students’ volunteer experience. This
approach allows for better preparation and reflection,
which gives students’ experiences more meaning. For example,
each eighth grade student is now a pen pal through their English class with a resident at Lytton Gardens senior residential community. Together, as
a class, they will meet their pen pals later in the school year. High school examples include work with newly arrived refugee families at a Catholic Charities relocation center, and helping with food service for the homeless in San Francisco’s tenderloin. For students’ personal volunteer hours, Ms. Inkmann keeps an up-to-date, researched list of a wide range of opportunities to suit Priory students’ varied interests and time commitments.
