Class Officers (Class of 2005)
Dear Senior Class,
Congratulations, Class of 2005! Amazingly,
gratefully, and with mixed emotions, we are only two months away from
Commencement Weekend and the joyous completion of your degree programs. I
know there is much to be done between now and then academically,
professionally, and personally, so please know of my prayers and good wishes
for you all. I look forward to sharing Commencement with you on May 22nd

Each graduating class selects a group of officers to
serve several immediate functions and one future function. It is time to
select those officers. The three officers are President, Vice-President,
and Secretary. The immediate functions are four: 1) leading
the class to select a preacher for Commencement Worship, and both a preacher
and a celebrant for Commencement Communion, 2) helping to plan the
Commencement Worship and Commencement Communion services, 3)
supporting
the Class Agents in their
work on behalf of class gifts to the Divinity School (the Class Agents are
appointed by the Offices of Development and Alumni/ae Affairs), and 4)
providing leadership during the Commencement ceremonies themselves. The
future function is one: facilitating communication and reunion planning
among class members as a distinct alumni/ae group of the school in the years
after graduation.
Nominations for class officers may be submitted to me
throughout this week. The deadline for nominations is the end of the day
on Sunday, April 3rd. Please
have the agreement of the person you are nominating before submitting their
name. Nominations should be sent to me via email at dale.peterson@yale.edu
with the subject line "Senior Class Officers." I will
acknowledge each nomination with a message of reply, so please verify that I
received your nomination. If an election is
required to choose officers
from among a group of nominees, the election will be held at the beginning of
the following week (April 4th to 8th). Please note that all class members
are included in this email
message, including those
who completed their work in December.
Many thanks to you all. If you have any
questions or concerns, please let me know. In the meantime, Godspeed and
abundant mercies for you and all that fills your lives in these days of
completion and

love and gratitude for you all.

The Yale
Center for Faith & Culture
is pleased to announce that it is hosting the annual consultation for the
Coalition for Ministry in Daily Life (CMDL) group on April 1-3 at YDS.
CMDL was launched more than a decade ago by retired Bethlehem Steel executive,
William Diehl (best-selling author of The Monday Connection: On Being an
Authentic Christian in a Monday-Friday World). The goal of the annual
consultation is to share ideas and resources about how faith works in all
spheres of daily life, with particular attention this year to the workplace.
Our very own Miroslav Volf will be one of the featured speakers. If you thrive on interdisciplinary
conversations about tough questions that crop up in day-to-day life, this
consultation is for you. We'll have a wide range of lay leaders,
businesspeople, clergy, and academics in attendance. If prior consultations are
any indication, you'll be in for a stimulating and invigorating event. You may
never think about work in the same way again. The conference is free for Yale
Students, but the meals served are not (they are for registered guests).
For more information, please see our website at: www.yale.edu/faith or the page devoted to the conference: www.yale.edu/faith/initiatives/esw_cmdl.html, or stop by our office (S116) and ask Heather
