I have come to the end of my time as Director of Graduate Programs for the Richards Divinity School, having served in this role about 17.5 years (July 1998–December 1999; July 2000–June 2004; June 2011–June 2024). During this time, I have enjoyed the privilege of advising many graduate students regarding their academic programs and consulting with faculty colleagues on graduate program curricula and schedules. So, now I pass the torch to Dr. Maury Jackson and wish him the very best as he assumes this role along with his many other responsibilities
