Registration for BTFO 2019 is open!

Hey, future classmates and friends! Hope you’re all enjoying summer!
 
We’re thrilled to share that registration for Before the Fall Orientation (BTFO) is now open! You can access the registration form by clicking here. The deadline to register is Friday, August 9. The dates of BTFO are August 22-23, 26-27. To help you plan, we’ll be sending out a draft schedule early this week.
 
We know that this time, though very exciting, can also be filled with a lot of stress and anxiety about this big change in your life (and also the lives of your families and friends). In the days and weeks running up to BTFO, we’ll be posting blogs (and vlogs!) to help orient you to some vital and also fun aspects about life in New Haven and your time at Yale! We’ll cross post this content to here as well as the Facebook group created especially for your incoming class: Yale Divinity School 2019 Admits. If you haven’t already, you are highly encouraged to join the group, where super helpful things are posted (e.g. housing), and where current students like the BTFO Leadership Team can help answer any burning questions and concerns you may have.
 
All of us at YDS are so thrilled that you picked YDS to further your education and vocations! We’re incredibly blessed to have you as a part of the community. Please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can make your arrival as comfortable as possible.
 
Yours,
Geronimo Desumala ‘21 MDiv
BTFO Coordinator
