Programs
The Office of Student Affairs offers a number
of services and programs for the School of Theology students.
Listed below is just a sample of the many resources available:
The Alumni
Liaison Program maintains
a newtwork of Alumni/ae representing careers in law, ethics,
health science, development and government services in order
to provide vocational direction and consultation with students.
The
Dean's Council Against Discrimination
advocates
and presents institutional strategies in an effort to eliminate
many forms of discrimination that may arise in a theological
setting. It also serves as a clearinghouse for issues raised
by the School of Theology community in reference to issues
of intragroup and intergroup relations.
The
Denominational Liaison Program invites
STH faculty and staff to network with students that belong
to their particular religious denominations.
The
Fellowship Honor Society is
a special society for students who have demonstrated outstanding
contributions/leadership to the community within their academic
careers at the School of Theology. Nominated students are
inducted prior to Commencement.
The
Mentor Program
pairs incoming STH students with currently enrolled STH students
who act as mentors and guides. For more information please
contact Valentina Pride in Room 110.
Pastoral
Educational Program Lectures address important
socio-political issues and their impact on religious communities
through faculty and guest speakers.
Research
Forums are sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs
to provide students and faculty with the opportunity to make
research presentations during Community Lunch, initiating
dialog about research outside the classroom. Each year advanced
students present research papers developed with the help of
a faculty member and/or advisor. Student presentations must
be based on papers developed in seminary coursework or upon
recommendation by the faculty.
Presently there are four forums:
- Seminary Scholar Research Forum
- African Diaspora Research Forum
- Seminary Women's Research Forum
- Korean Students Research Forum
The
Spiritual
and Community Life Committee represents
all facets of the STH community: students, faculty and administration.
The members of this committee focus on the discussion and
evaluation of our common life together. If you have a concern
regarding the spiritual or community life of the School, please
put it in writing along with your name and STH Box number
and deliver it to the Office of Student Affairs (Room 110),
or to the Community Life Office (Room B-25).
The
Student Travel Program
provides funds for students traveling to the American Academy
of Religion/Society for Biblical Literature meeting each year.
Funds may also be requested for other conferences.
