JST News
JST undergoes a process of re-accreditation with the Association of Theological Schools of Canada and the United States (ATS) this year. Re-accreditation happens every 10 years. An important part of this process is the visit of a 4-people team commissioned by ATS to inspect the school and meet with all of its constituencies: students, staff, faculty, administrators, board members and alumni. Accordingly, we invite all students to a lunch meeting with the members of the accreditation team (Fr. Mark Wedig, O.P., Dr. Helen Biler, Sr. Mary Krysiak Bittar, and Dr. Michael Sandner) scheduled on Tuesday, March 1, from 12:00p.m. to 1:20p.m. in JST Compañía or the Patio depending on the weather. For questions, please contact Jean-François Racine, jracine@scu.edu.
Students, please let us know as soon as possible about your availability for this meeting by answering this three-question survey.
