Did you just start seminary or are you just begining the candidacy process? ELCA Candidacy is a process that will journey with you throughout your time in seminary. Join Ashley Wheeler (associate director of Candidacy and Vocational Formation) and Krista Anderson (deacon and Region 3 Candidacy and Leadership Manager and Program Director for the Support of Ministers of Word and Service) for an information session on candidacy on Wednesday, November 20 at 12:30 p.m. This will be a hybrid event—coffee, tea, and desserts will be provided for those able to attend in person. Register online today. A Zoom recording will be available afterward for those who cannot attend.

The Registrar’s Office will be closed Monday, November 25 through Friday, November 29. During this period, we will be unable to process transcript requests or answer registration/advising questions via email. To ensure your items for the Registrar are processed before the closure, please have all requests submitted by noon on Thursday, November 21. Any requests submitted after this deadline will not be processed until the week after Thanksgiving, beginning Monday, December 2.
