ATS Sits Visit, Nov. 16 - 19, 2009 - 11/16/09

A collegial visit from ATS Site Evaluation Team, consisting of Stephen Bosso (St. Vincent DePaul Seminary), chair; Seymour House (Mt. Angel Seminary); Timothy D. Lincoln (Austin Presbyterian Seminary); and Tisa Lewis, ATS staff, concluded this morning with an exit interview. The team shared its perspectives on both the strengths and weaknesses of the Seminary, gleaned from the self-study report and their cordial and frank discussions with the various Seminary constituencies. The team also shared their findings and recommendations to the ATS Board of Commissioners with the alumni, staff, faculty, administration and trustees who were present. It is expected that the Board of Commissioners will issue their report in February 2010.
