As the man said about the Grateful Dead, academic year 2020-21 has been a “long, strange, trip.” For part of the year we have been online only and for part of the year we have been in hybrid mode, with some of our students in class and some of our students online. This year we had an in-person commencement ceremony, which included this year’s graduates as well as some of last year’s, who were not able to hold a commencement ceremony because of Covid restrictions. Despite all the challenges the students have persevered, continued their preparation, and now they are ready to take the next step toward the vocation to which God is calling them. For most of our graduates that will be pastoral ministry. For some of our graduates it will be graduate school, or a career as a writer, for others it will service as a elder or catechism teacher. It has been a few years since Office Hours has talked with some graduating students and this seems like a good time to hear from them. Joining us to talk about their seminary experiences are three students, Nate Paschall, a Master of Divinity graduate, Laurel Goodwin, a Master of Arts graduate, and Alan Giles, a third-career Master of Arts graduate.
