Zinzendorf School of Doctoral Studies (ZSDS) convened a meeting with the ministry track leaders from the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program on February 25.

The meeting aims to inform the leader of each track of the schedule for the upcoming oral defense, which will be held in April 2022. ZSDS introduced resources, including format guide and theological research writing, that track leaders can utilize in assisting their D.Min. mentors and candidates.

ZSDS called upon the track leaders to encourage each candidate in the final stage of their D.Min. programs to complete their final paper on time. Candidates will become eligible to join the oral defense to present their thesis project to the doctoral committee.

Candidates who pass the oral defense will join Olivet University’s commencement ceremony in June. ZSDS will continue to work closely with track leaders and mentors to guide each candidate to accomplish their work for graduation.
