  • United Methodist Conference and Agency Visits to Candler

    The Office of Methodist Studies at Candler welcomes you to campus to visit current students, recruit new students, and deepen the connection between your conference and this institution. We hope you will fill out this form to begin solidifying a visit with us!

    Here are some of the things we can help with:

    • Reserving space for private student interviews and/or space in public areas to
      engage with all students
    • Setting up electronic appointment sign-ups and providing a list of who has signed up
    • Setting up meetings with select faculty and staff to further connect your conference with Candler
    • Providing hospitality with snacks and drinks

    Plan visits early. Productive visits are planned at least four weeks in advance.

     

    Start planning by filling out this form:
