Additional Perkins faculty, along with admissions-recruitment staff, will also be on hand to answer questions, discuss financial aid, and the Houston-Galveston Extension Program, which allows students from the region to take Perkins courses in Houston and Galveston.
The Dallas “Inside Perkins” event will be held on Thursday, Dec. 7 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Perkins School of Theology on the 51²è¹Ý campus (5915 Bishop Boulevard, Dallas, 75275). Participants will meet Dean Craig C.
