Asbury Alumni Gather During Annual Conference
Each year, the Asbury Seminary Alumni Office works with different conferences throughout the country to help facilitate an alumni gathering. These gatherings are typically done over lunch or dinner. The Alumni Office tries to send an Asbury speaker (often a professor) to all conferences that request one. The speaker usually gives a small devotional and then updates the alumni on current happenings at the seminary. The Alumni Office also provides brochures, information packets and small gifts to all alumni in attendance. Please see the details below for an alumni gathering near you.
Note: Most meals require you to preregister through the contact person. Bring a prospective student and get your meal paid for by the Admissions Office (see “One-Plus-One-Equals-Free” article).
