Dr. Kristin King, President
The College is enjoying a good fall term with 104 new students and 273 total
full-time enrollment (268 undergraduates; five theologs). Nine students are
engaged part time in the Master of Arts in Religious Studies (MARS) program.
Dr. Wendy Closterman has taken on the role of Dean of Faculty. Other
faculty changes include Ethan King becoming a core faculty member
in Business. Ethan comes to us with a BA in History from Bryn Athyn
College and an MBA in Finance from Temple University. Aram Yardumian
(Anthropology) also joins the ranks of core faculty. Aram has a BA from
Prescott College, an MA in English from the University of Texas at Austin, and
an MA in Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania, where he will
soon complete his PhD in Anthropology.
The History Major has been transformed into the Human Society Major,
a multidisciplinary program in Anthropology, History, Political Science and
Sociology. This major examines people and institutions in the context of
societies, in order to evaluate individual and collective choices.
Our internship, service learning and career programs continue strong. We
emphasize a New Church liberal arts education that prepares students to lead
useful, successful lives, in this world and the next. Our alumni and friends are
a critical part of that endeavor. As always, please contact Laura Nash if you
have ideas for supporting internships and career services at the College.
