Celestial University is a Pursuit of Excellence program for the sisters in our ward. The purpose of Celestial University is to offer each sister an opportunity to reach her divine potential as a Daughter of God. The program is designed to meet these goals by providing direction, motivation, and resources. Through raised self-esteem and a sure knowledge that she can improve her life and the lives of those around her, each sister will become an active force in promoting the Kingdom of God on earth.
Celestial University is a goal setting program whereby a sister may earn her Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate Degree by finishing outlined requirements. At the end of this packet are the requirement sheets for all three degree levels.
There are 12 different areas or colleges in which one may earn a degree. When requirements have been completed, the Department Chair of that particular college will verify the sister’s success with a date and signature. When all the requirements for a degree have been met, the sister’s name will be presented to the Dean to be included in the next graduation ceremony.
A sister may work on more than one requirement at a time as well as more than one degree at a time. But, In order to earn a Master’s or Doctorate degree, the Bachelor’s degree in that college must be completed first.
The original requirements of Celestial University have been modified to meet the needs of the sisters in our ward. Rachel Woods is the creator of Celestial University and may be reached at gokristens@aol.com or lds.guide@about.com.

Controlling Clutter
Legos. Work sheets. Soccer cleats. It's one of the paradoxes of family life: nobody can ever find the things they need, and yet there are things everywhere--underfoot, under the bed, on every tabletop. Our paradoxical solution? Less stuff means more stuff. The more clutter you clear away, the easier it will be for your family to find and use the things you actually need. So clutter, beware! There's nowhere to hide.
Maintain control. Determine your worst clutter zones -- inside the front door, may be the kitchen counter. Then develop a system for managing incoming items and stick with it. Make sure your dis understand the strategy, and solicit their help in implementing it.
Save selectively. Do you need to keep all of your children's artwork? HOld onto every catalog? Store outgrown tosy and clothes in the garage? Wherever stuff is accumulating, ask yourself why, and whether you can live without it.
Do more, bring home less. It may seem like clutter multiples while you're not looking -- but he truth is that things end up in our homes because we buy them, kkep them, or collect them. Encourage your family to do activities that don't entail acuiqisition: visit a museum, take a bike ride or a hike, or build a sand castle at the beach.

Always Be A Student
Keep on learning, (graduate's name),
Though your graduation's done;
