Welcome to the Student Association

The Student Association is composed of all students (except Doctor of Ministry students) registered and enrolled in the Seminary. Its purpose is to "conduct all student social and extracurricular affairs" and to "conduct elections of student representatives to other Seminary committees or organizations as required."  Meetings of the Student Association are held at least once a month.
