Student Government

In view of the maturity that can be presupposed in seminary students, the affairs of the dormitory are predominanatly regulated by the students themselves with a minimum of consultation with the dean of students. The same policy applies in all areas of student life. The seminary endeavors to stimulate in the student body a sense of responsibility for carrying out its own encouragement and admonition. For consultation with the dean, the student body elects a student council consisting of the student body president and representatives from each class. The students also elect a missions secretary, who receives and disburses their weekly mission offerings. These offerings are designated by the students for special projects. The principal forum for exchange of views and expression of opinion in the student body is the cafeteria assembly at the noon meal. In order to involve a greater number of students in this process, married students are encouraged to join the student body at the noon meal, either purchasing the dinner or bringing their own lunches.
