Student Council

Full and part-time students enrolled in the Seminary are members of the UDTS Student Association. The Student Council is composed of elected representatives from the Student Association, a seminary faculty advisor and a representative from the undergraduate Student Government Association (SGA).

The Student Council facilitates the programming and finances of the Student Association. The student activity fees paid each semester make up the income. Those fees are used to fund the Food Pantry, the Good News, Spouse Group, the Seminary Choir, fellowship activities and in part the three denominational Tables.

 Important Information
If you have a concern or praise that you would like the Council to pray about, please submit that request. None of the requests will be shared with anyone outside the Council unless direct permission is given to do so.
