The Divinity Students Association (DSA) is an organization run by and for University of Chicago Divinity School students. The organization attempts to contribute to many spheres of life in the Divinity School: academic, professional, and social.

DSA funds student academic clubs: one for each area of concentrations and many others sparked and organized by students according to their interests. In addition to the basic needs of these clubs, DSA also funds major events and conferences that several clubs organize, like the annual Ethics Conference and Ministry Conference.

DSA also funds the weekly Wednesday Lunch series, which features a different speaker from the University of Chicago or an outside university each week.

In addition, DSA makes available a limited amount of funding for students participating in international conferences and specific kinds of research (contact DSA Treasurer Santiago Piñon for information on these awards.

Twice each quarter, DSA hosts an early-evening social event in Swift Commons, providing beverages and refreshments for book-weary students. Other events, such as quarterly pub nights and orientation events also contribute to student life and comraderie outside of the classroom.

All of these programs are possible because of the DSA-owned Divinity School Coffee Shop in the basement of Swift Hall. Although the funds from this student-owned and -run, non- profit venture are small, they allow DSA to provide services, opportunities, and funding to Divinity School students.
