Life as a graduate student is often a family affair. We’ve collected resources to support children and spouses/partners.
Divinity Spouses Group
Divinity Spouses provides social, spiritual, and educational activities for married students and their spouses with the aim of helping spouses know that they are also important, contributing, and welcomed members of the Divinity School community.
