(September 1, 2021)
Hello from Wesley!
It is such a delight to greet you today with news from our first week of classes— many of which have resumed in person! Students, faculty, and staff are all fully vaccinated, and we have officially welcomed the Fall 2021 class to campus.
We are excited to kick off this semester with a combination of virtual and in-person events and we hope that you will consider joining in some of the community celebration. As you scroll through this newsletter, you’ll see that you have many opportunities to engage in worship, community outreach and even join a workshop on trauma led by our own Dr. Paul Cho, Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible.
We are praying for all of the students who have just begun their seminary journeys, and for those of you who are still discerning where God is leading you. If you would like to reach out and begin a conversation about seminary, please be in touch with the office of admissions to set up an appointment or a personalized tour.
Blessings,
Elizabeth Pruchnicki
