The Doctoral Student Association (DSA) exists to facilitate the social and intellectual support of all interested doctoral students at Boston University School of Theology. The DSA gathers on a regular basis for events that promote the development of friendships and the discovery of common needs specific to STH doctoral students. Those needs are pursued through various creative means, such as hosting colloquia and encouraging positive student-faculty interaction. All events and meetings are in aim of developing meaningful relationships that encourage cooperative learning, research, and writing.
