Resources: Economics & Pastoral Leadership Project
|
|
This month, staff and students within the school's Economics & Pastoral Leadership Project have been hard at work! The team created resources for students and alumni around the issue of student debt burden, and shared them with students at this month's annual lunch with Dean Markuly. The first of the two resources is a helpful "Fact Sheet" that outlines the issues of graduate students' and seminary students' debt burden. The second is a "Resource" that shares some loan payback strategies that may be helpful.
