Sewanee, Tenn.—The School of Theology at Sewanee: The University of the South will sponsor “Sewanee—Come and See 2010” Feb. 25-28, 2010, to provide prospective graduate students with an introduction to community life and theological formation at the School.

Student-organized and led, the weekend in Sewanee, located conveniently between Chattanooga and Nashville, will offer opportunities to:

• worship in the Seminary’s Chapel of the Apostles and the University’s All Saints’ Chapel;
• attend classes taught by faculty who are thought leaders in their disciplines;
• interact with faculty and students as they discuss a variety of issues regarding formation for ordained ministry, theological education, and seminary life and work;

• consult with Admissions and financial aid counselors.

The University of the South provides an unparalleled environment for serious theological study, research, and reflection on a wooded 13,000-acre campus known as The Domain. Within a tight-knit community of undergraduate and graduate students who live among faculty and other community members, the School of Theology provides a theological approach in witness and service to the Triune God rooted in scripture, theology, and prayer, and characterized by a commitment to social justice and broad-based learning.

Attendance at the weekend is free. Accommodations in Sewanee may be arranged with current students, at University facilities, or at lodgings of your choice.
