Discover Garrett: Homecoming Edition

Don’t Just Imagine Garrett, Come Experience It!

Come and “Discover Garrett” in person on November 9-10, 2022! Discover Garrett day is your opportunity to visit campus and experience what it’s like to be a part of the Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary community. You’ll have the chance to attend community worship and community meal, a weekly Garrett tradition, on November 9th. And on November 10th, you’ll learn about the admissions process, have a lunch and learn with a panel with current students, attend a sample course taught by a Garrett faculty member, and more.

As an added bonus, Discover Garrett will take place alongside our Homecoming celebration, which will give you the chance to meet and network with some of our outstanding alums!
