Claim Your Mug!
Now that the spring semester is underway we want to begin cleaning out the mug shelf in the Seminary kitchen. There has been a build-up of mugs and in an effort to keep the kitchen tidy we will discard all unclaimed mugs.
Starting today all of the mugs will be taken down. Please stop by the kitchen and claim your mug by putting it back on the shelf. All mugs should be claimed by Wednesday, February 7th.
If you have any questions or not able to claim your mug by Wednesday please email semservices@northpark.edu.
Interested in Studying in Sweden?
As a follow-up to our lunch conversation in chapel this past Thursday, we wanted to provide more info on the semester abroad in Sweden for those of you who are interested. They do their English semester every spring and we encourage students to plan ahead so that the courses fit in with our North Park curriculum correctly. You can stop by our admissions office and pick up a packet of info. You can also find more details on their website. This is both a great and unique opportunity and we would love for many of our students to take advantage of it.
I Need YOUR Voice!
I need your voice! As the seminary student representative on North Park University’s presidential search, it is crucial for me to know your voice and opinions as we make a crucial decision for our university. What characteristics do you hope the next president will have? Are there major challenges or opportunities you hope the next president will address, and therefore experiences that you hope that person has? (For example, do you want them to have experience in multiethnic communities? What types of jobs should they have had in the past?)
Please send your feedback to Mackenzie Mahon at mamahon@northpark.edu
