You are invited to STH Community Day 2019<\/strong>! To celebrate the School of Theology\u2019s tradition of Community Day every week on Wednesday, with worship, lunch, and fellowship, we have designated a special day in 2019 to honor your legacy and impact as an alum on the community STH is today.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, September 18, 2019 we will recognize our entire community of alumni, students, staff, and faculty during the annual Matriculation Day service. Matriculation Day is the academic and liturgical celebration of the entering class of theological students through the doctoral level. More than 90 new students will be welcomed during this event. As a way to demonstrate the legacy to which they will become heir, we are honoring the 2019 School of Theology Distinguished Alumni, the Classes of 1969<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>, 1959, and 1954 as well as all STH alumni. Even if this year is not a \u201creunion\u201d year for you, consider returning to Boston in the fall (the best time to visit!). There will be a place for you.<\/p>\n

Many of our graduates have friends who did not graduate their same year, therefore, we are expanding what has traditionally been a day for class reunions. We hope you will consider chatting with your friends, no matter what year you all graduated, and coordinate your return to STH. We will continue to celebrate the 50th reunion class (1969)<\/a><\/strong><\/span> but also encourage you to create your own reunion. If you need assistance getting in touch with your friends and classmates, please let us know. Or, if you just want to return solo, we will have plenty of opportunities for you to meet other alums and learn about theological education at STH today.<\/p>\n

We recommend you make your hotel reservations early. You can find suggestions on the BU Alumni page under \u201cBoston-Area Hotels\u201d<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>and suggestions from the School of Theology Admissions Office under \u201cAccommodations.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have questions, please contact Andrew Kimble<\/a>\u00a0or (617) 353-8972.<\/p>\n
