DDHI Spotlight
"I am deeply passionate about pastoral care and social justice/advocacy, and I am excited to see where those commitments lead, whether in chaplaincy, congregational ministry, or something else entirely."
Noah TennantStudent 
"I argue that healing is an integrative process and envision how this can materialize within our social locations through the work of trauma studies and ritual theory."
Dr. Yara González-JustinianoFaculty 
"The highlight of my Vandy DDHI experience is the community I found. The friends I made living in the house are still the people that sustain me in living this calling."
