Chair of the Division of College Ministry for the Diocese of Texas, Sandi received her B.A. in Journalism and Public Relations from the University of Oklahoma in 1979 and her M.Div. from Sewanee in 1998. She was called to the campus ministry at Texas A&M and Blinn College in 1999.
Prior to her ordination, Sandi worked in development and fund-raising for various organizations in Austin, including KLRU (Austin's Public Broadcasting System) and the Children's Miracle Network. Though not on staff at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in College Station, she often assists with worship and other activities there.
In addition to working tirelessly to expand college ministry in her diocese, Sandi has brought innovation to the Episcopal ministry at Texas A&M. Chief among these changes have been the creation of Cafe Canterbury, an on-site coffee house, and the Canterbury Spirituality Center, a place where students can learn about modes of prayer in a very hands-on way.
Describing her main interests, Sandi says, "The things most important to me are my relationship with God and my family, my dog, and my friends. I enjoy traveling, my book club, my herb and rose gardens and all the students I meet in ministry and on the Texas A&M campus."
A widow, Sandi has a grown daughter and a grandson, who live in Washington, D.C.

A Rising Generation of Leaders
• Through campus ministry the church keeps its baptismal promise to support persons in their life in Christ. We do this in partnership with youth leaders, camp directors, parishes and young adult ministries.
• Many leaders in the church have been involved with campus ministry, and point to these ministries as pivotal moments in their faith development and religious commitment.
• Campus ministry is an effective investment in the leadership, life and growth of the church and requires the financial and relational commitment of the parish and the diocesan community as a whole in order to be successful, healthy and sustainable.
A Necessary Community
• College students are in a transitional place developmentally which calls for a creation of a peer community. In such groups, individual faith and religious commitments are challenged, explored and strengthened.
• Campus ministries serve as places of community which may center around shared meals, regular worship, pastoral care, community service and other encounters with Episcopal ministries.
A Place For Mentoring & Spiritual Formation

• In campus ministry students are recognized, challenged, supported, inspired and engaged in honest dialogue around their faith in order to foster their potential.
A Source of Imagination & Vision
• Campus ministries provide a culture where students can imagine and explore new possibilities for ministry. These imagined possibilities are necessary for the continued vitality of the church and for God’s mission in the world.
• In campus ministry we equip students with the tools of our tradition for facing the tough ethical, moral, religious, relational and ecological challenges of a complex world.
