Student Testimony

“Seminary for a Day had a big influence on my decision to come to WSC. Getting to see the campus and personally talk with professors and students helped me get to know the atmosphere of the school, which was important because I was considering moving across the country. I remember calling my wife…and saying, ‘if we can make it happen, I really want to go here.’”

—Jared Jeter, Master of Divinity
