Pre-Seminary Group
Pre-Seminary Students Spend Spring Break in Snowy Midwest
Over spring break five of our members went on a road trip to four of the eight ELCA seminaries:
Wartburg in Iowa, Trinity in Ohio, Chicago in Illinois, and Luther in Minnesota. The trip went extremely
well—ask one of the girls to tell you a little about their adventures! The five members on the trip were
juniors Ruth Williamson, Amy Troxell, and Sara Jane Luley and sophomores Caitlin Newman and Alina Gayeuski
Luther Seminary in Minnesota’s Twin Cities…and almost a foot of snow

Sunday, March 18, we had a mock candidacy event. Shawn Berkebile (a second year student at Gettysburg
seminary) and other pastors and synod representatives came in to help lead the event. We thank Chaplain for
taking us all out to eat afterwards at BJ's. On March 22nd we reflected on our experiences from this event
and on April 2nd Dr. Martin from the Psychology department came to speak to us about psychological testing for
the candidacy process.
Next year, current freshman Chelsea Miller will be replacing Amy Troxell as co-president to work
alongside Alina Gayeuski. Congratulations, Chelsea!
