Student Leadership
Canterbury House provides education experiences and supports
the development of student leaders. Members of our Student Vestry, listed below, are responsible for outreach, worship, and evangelism, and for maintaining Canterbury House as a visible and effective student organization at the University of Michigan. Students are also involved in leadership in the House, in the Diocese of Michigan, and in the national church by serving on the Canterbury House Board of Trustees, participating in internship programs,
serving as representatives to the Diocesan Convention and as organizers
of Province V ministry conferences and the church’s national
Young Adults Festival.
 Katie Bush
Kathleen fell in love with water along the shores of Seneca Lake at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY where she graduated in 2006 with a B.S. in Biology and Environmental Studies and a minor in mathematics. Immediately following graduation she spent a month traveling around Siberia’s vast Lake Baikal, then departed for Demark two months later. As a Fulbright Scholar in Copenhagen (2006-2007), Katie investigated the ecotoxicologic effects of pyrene on phytoplankton communities under varying nutrient regimes, simultaneously succumbing to the easy-going Danish way of life. In 2007 her passion for water brought her to the heart of the Great Lakes Region. At the School of Public Health, her interests revolve around the impact of water quality on human and ecosystem health in a changing climate. During the summer of 2009 she worked and studied in Chennai, India, observing first hand the health effects of poor water quality and a lack of sanitation. While there, she investigated the relationship between extreme weather events and hospitalization. She also helped organize the first international conference jointly sponsored by the UM Center for Global Health, CDC, and ICMR to be held in Goa, India in August 2009. Katie also enjoys to swim, bike, and run - sometimes in that particular order. Other interests include hiking mountains, baking cakes, and taking photographs.

 Blake Charlebois
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a
good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings
or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this
truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is
considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. |
 Rick Durance
Rick likes to describe himself as a Prodigal Ann Arbor Townie. He was born
and raised in Ann Arbor, but moved to Lexington, KY then to Cleveland, OH.
After high school, he decided to return to Ann Arbor and attend University
of Michigan in 2007, where he initially intended to study Philosophy and
Astrophysics. He is now a History major working on a Senior Thesis regarding
U.S. Catholic Religious Activism in the early 70s, specifically in regards
Latin America.
When not hanging out at Canterbury House, Rick is often involved in some
social justice or religious activity. He is one of the Interns at
Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice while also serving on the Student
Leadership Team for Interfaith Action. Although a long time Canterburian,
he still regularly attends Lord of Light Lutheran. His hobbies include
camping/hiking when he can, listening to music from folk covers of hymns to
early 90s hip-hop, to reading obscure books, and writing, often about the
political issues of the day.
"All my days I've been searching, to find out what this life is worth,
through the books and bibles of time I've made up my mind I don't condemn, I
don't convert, this is a calling have you heard bring all the lovers to the
fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul"
"Love is my Religion" by Ziggy Marley |
 Megan Lytle
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a
noisy gong, a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and
understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to
remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I
have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain
nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 |
 Allie Wills
But, for to speken of hir conscience,
She was so charitable and so pitous
She wolde wepe, if that she saugh a mous
Kaught in a trappe, if it were deed or bledde.
Of smale houndes hadde she, that she fedde
With rosted flesh, or milk and wastel-breed.
But soore weep she of oon of hem were deed,
Or if men smoot it with a yerde smerte;
And all was conscience, and tender hert. |
 Rebecca Wolf
Rebecca Wolf came to Ann Arbor from Wheaton, Illinois in 2003. She studies law at U-M; before that, she studied music and philosophy. She spends her time reading, biking, and learning to practice law. She can still wield a devastating clarinet if you ask.
"I believe I am a citizen of the world, and of a church without borders." --St. Toribio |
