One strength of CUC's religious studies program is the field experience students receive. A key component of this practical experience are the six weeks during the summer each student spends with his/her mentor pastor. On Sunday and Monday, November 13 and 14, 21 mentor pastors from across the SDACC met at CUC for training and to meet the religious studies majors.
The featured speaker at this year's training session for mentor pastors was Don Corkum. Now retired and living in Calgary, Corkum was most recently president of the Wisconsin Conference.
Canadian University College's field experience for religious studies majors is coordinated by Dr. Bruce Boyd, chair of the religious studies department. "This is the most practical class we offer," said Boyd. "To ensure our students have the best experience possible we want our mentor pastors to know exactly what we are expecting and why."
The complete list of mentor pastors is shown below.
