Schedule a Conversation With Drew
At our best, Western is relational. Therefore, we aim to care for you and your story beyond the application. One way to do this is through a conversation with Drew Brown, Western's Director of Admissions. He wants to hear about your hopes and dreams for seminary; this is not an interview, but an opportunity to embody the relational connection Western aspires to! Feel free to email admissions@westernsem.edu to schedule a time with Drew or book directly with him here.
