Steve Woit
who is a religion professor, is midway through a two-year teaching commitment in the Great Conversation program at St. Olaf College. She teaches half time and is home part time with son Cameron, who turned two this past July. With Cameron well situated in day care, the couple decided it would make sense this first year for Galbraith and Cameron to stay in Northfield rather than contend with the disruption of relocation and a last-minute search for housing and day care. Galbraith is no stranger to Saint John’s. She was once offered a faculty position by the CSB/SJU theology
department but ultimately decided the commuting distance from Northfield was too great. “She was interested in taking that job because she loved the people she met, and monasticism is important to her both personally and professionally,” Hemesath says. “She also wants to meet the community as well. It’s a little hard with her in Northfield, but we’ll find ways for her to be involved in public events as much as possible.” Glenda Isaacs Burgeson is CSB/SJU director of editorial services.
