Integrative Project Symposium
The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology will host the 2018 Integrative Project Symposium on Friday, June 1, when students from the Master of Divinity (MDiv) and MA in Theology & Culture (MATC) programs will share the projects that serve as a capstone of their time in graduate school. With a compelling blend of research methodology and The Seattle School’s unique lens, the Integrative Projects are part of what makes our curriculum unique—born out of years of study, countless conversations with peers and faculty, and each student’s distinctive embodiment of text, soul, and culture.
In this annual symposium, The Seattle School’s alumni, current students, faculty, staff, and the Seattle community at large are invited to witness and celebrate the bold, thoughtful, and creative work of our graduating theology students.
The symposium will take place in the Large Classroom. Refreshments will be provided.
