Graduate Profile: Nicholas Constantine Ruvelas, MDiv '23

How I've Changed 

Since starting at HDS I have been able to take both my academic and ecclesiastical pursuits to the next level. I have become more confident in lecturing through my field education placements and have benefited immensely from the opportunity to study at HDS!  

Memorable Moment 

My most memorable moment would have to be walking on campus for the first time and attending class in person for the first time after having to spend our first academic year apart due to COVID. 

Favorite Class or Professor 

My favorite class would have to be either "Ancient Egypt and the Hebrew Bible," with Dr. Schipper or Dr. Patton’s "Angels" course! 

Message of Thanks  

I would like to thank Dr. Patton for her academic advice and friendship; my Senior Seminar advisor, Dr. Stang; and teaching fellow, Kythe Heller. 

What I Hope to Be Remembered By 

For bringing an Eastern Orthodox perspective and representation here at HDS! 

Future Plans 

In the future I plan to continue my service in the Greek Orthodox Church, as a deacon, and to teach in higher education.
