Prospective Student Days
Call 800-275-8235 and ask for Liz to Register for Prospective Student Days!
The faculty, staff, and students of Seabury invite prospective students to join them for Prospective Student Days. This program will allows those considering seminiaries to explore the curriculum, meet the faculty, and experience worship and student life at the seminary.
Prospective students learn how Seabury can empower them for ministry, address questions and concerns about choosing a seminary, and speak with spouses and children to find out about family life "on the block." It will allow all visitors to discover the wealth of resources available in Evanston and the greater Chicago area, and, most importantly, become a part of the community for a few days, and see how the people and experiences here can enable students to deepen the intellectual, spiritual, and practical dimensions of their participation in the mission of Jesus Christ.
Participants
"Prospective Student Days" is designed for adults who are considering a seminary education to prepare for lay or ordained ministry. We encourage spouses and partners to accompany prospective students, since they will become vital members of the seminary community. Although children are also important in our community, this event is not designed to accommodate children, except for infants. You and your children are welcome to visit Seabury at another time. Seabury will be pleased to provide housing and meals.
Accommodations
We welcome our guests for Prospective Student Days. Lodging and meals are provided by the seminary from Sunday evening through Tuesday afternoon. Lodging will be arranged in our guest housing or in guest rooms of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, located across the street from Seabury. There is no charge. We are not able to provide accommodations Friday and/or Saturday.
Travel
While transportation to Evanston and back is the student's responsibility, we can provide transportation to and from air, train, or bus terminals. O'Hare Airport is the closest to Seabury. Please let us know your travel plans as soon as possible.
Official Interviews
Those who are planning to enter seminary in Fall 2006-2007 and who have previously filed formal applications, may request that an official interview be scheduled. It is necessary to schedule an appointment prior to visiting, and to do this, completed applications with all transcripts and references must be on file in the Academic Affairs Office. To allow enough time for official interviews and other appointments, applicants are encouraged to stay through Tuesday afternoon.
