Each Winding Path – Stories of Faith from Florida College Female Faculty

Step into the vibrant world of higher education through the eyes of fifteen remarkable professors. In Each Winding Path, each narrative unfolds a unique tapestry of experiences, challenges, and triumphs that define their journeys that brought them to Florida College. Along with the narrative, each professor addresses a deeply resonant theme that many women encounter in balancing their professional lives, home responsibilities, and church involvement. By exploring topics such as adversity, grief, hospitality, and service through the lens of scripture, these educators offer valuable insights that can help other women navigate the complexities of their Christian roles. Discover how mentorship, discovery, and resilience intertwine in the lives of these scholars. Each chapter reveals not just their professional lives, but also the personal passions that fuel their commitment to education and to shaping the next generation. Join us in honoring all of the women who have graced the Florida College campus since 1946 and in celebrating the dedication and diversity of voices that enrich our college campus and inspire change beyond the classroom.
