The PMM Interview Day will be held on March 13, 2022 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. via ZOOM to be available at 2:30 p.m.

Register by February 7, using the form below for up to five (5) PMM approved sites to invite for an interview. Schedules will be emailed to attending ministry settings and seminarians by February 28, 2022. Find sites to invite on the PMM Ministry Setting Lists on  the Blackboard course MM-001 (available in January) for both summer and fall/spring placements.

You may contact and interview with PMM approved sites of interest directly as well.

For summer internship placements: You may attend PMM Interview Day; however, remember that you have a looming April 1 deadline to solidify your placement.

If you have discovered a site of interest, you may share the webpages: Congregations & Non-profits and Current Learning Partnerships with the site to help them better understand PMM.

For all interview avenues: Your profile (Seminarian Placement Application and, if provided, resume) will be sent to the sites you select for interview day or can be requested for interviews you schedule.

Interviewing and discernment:

1. Take time to learn more about the site and its opportunities for ministry engagements and discuss what you are seeking to learn.
2. Consider the site's schedule, your class schedule, and the PMM schedule:

• • Colloquies (your PMM course) meet on Wednesday afternoons (1:30-3:30 p.m.) and evenings (7:15-9:15 p.m.).
  • Share with the site that your learning team-intern, clergy/mentoring partner, and lay/site partner-will need to attend orientation together during the coming summer months. See Upcoming Events for PMM dates and registration form in another accordion section below.

Once you identify a site that is able to provide your educational needs and is willing to partner with you, then solidify your paperwork. More information on paperwork solidification may be found through another accordion section below.

Solidification includes having brought the PMM office the following by the appropriate deadline:
1) an approved site (congregation or non-profile) with the associated completely filled out and signed Site Application & Agreement Form (with the forms for both learning partners: for congregations: a clergy and a lay learning partner profile and for non-profits: a mentoring and a site learning partner profile);
2) written confirmation of interest from the seminarian that names the site and the term (i.e. Summer 2022 or Fall/Spring 2022-2023); AND
3) written confirmation of interest from the site that gives the potential intern's full name and the term (i.e. Summer 2022 or Fall/Spring 2023-2023).

⇒Tip: It is best to submit paperwork two weeks prior to deadlines.

Please note: Site/Profile Applications are reviewed after receipt; site approval is not guaranteed.

For Summer PMM, the placement solidification deadline is April 1. You may continue into fall/spring at the same site; however, your paperwork needs to reflect this by May 1.
Please Note: There are typically no extensions granted for summer PMM deadlines.

For Fall/Spring PMM, the placement solidification deadline is May 1.
Please Note: Seminarians requesting a fall/spring deadline extension MUST be in conversation with the PMM Office prior to May 1. The extended deadline, by prior approval, for solidifying a Fall/Spring placement is June 1. Seminarians will not be able to participate in the fall/spring colloquy groups if PMM Placements are not finalized by June 1.

*Seminarians will not be placed at their home church unless employed there.*

Interns are required to attend both the colloquy meetings that occur in the spring and on the first day of fall classes and the June PMM-SPP Orientation in order to participate in their summer PMM internship:

• The spring meeting will be 4 pm - 7:15 pm on Wednesday, April 27, 2022.
• The fall meeting is 9 am - Noon on Monday, August 29, 2022.

The dates for the summer PMM internship are June 19 - August 21, 2022 (25 hours/week).
