Registration for Alumni/ae Convocation is now closed, however there will be limited walk-in registrations available. For information about parking, and a full list of events open to all alumni/ae of the Partners on the Quad, visit the YDS Convocation Page. For other questions, contact Ned Allyn Parker.

Like last year, classes will be in session during this event, which will afford Alumni/ae more opportunities to interact with current students. Andover Newton Seminary’s Advisory Council will also be on campus for their October meeting, so we will all begin the day in worship together!
