An Evening with Candler
Evening with Candler is a recruitment dinner held from 6 - 8 p.m. in various churches across the country. We also ask you to share this information with anyone that you might want to encourage to apply to be a student at Candler. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce a potential student to Candler School of Theology. Participants will be able to visit with Admission Advisors and Candler graduates in the area. The event will feature a welcome by Associate Dean of Admissions Shonda Jones and a talk by a distinguished member of the faculty.
To register for one of the events, contact us at candleradmissions@emory.edu or 404.727.6326.
