The
Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology
Student
Life - Campus Life
Our
learning community seeks to be a warm, caring community.
It's a concept that comes straight out of our heritage.
The African-American Church tradition, in which most of
our students have grown up, is based on an ancient, Old
Testament model of an extended family or tribe. In that
kind of community, each member supports and encourages every
other member and lives by an understood code of honor designed
to maintain the best interests of the whole group.
Campus life at the School of Theology is very much centered
on community and caring, and spiritual growth. That community
spirit, of course, includes a healthy dose of good old-fashioned
fun and fellowship, as well. Through sports, social events,
and service projects, we build our sense of community and
make every one of our students feel a part of the community
of the School of Theology, the community of the Richmond
Theological Consortium, the community of Virginia Union
University, and the historic community of Richmond, Virginia.
