PBU ANNOUNCES NAMES
OF SIX NEW DEANS

April 5, 2002

PBU is pleased to announce the appointment of deans for 6 of the 7 new schools formed in connection with an academic restructuring that becomes effective July 1st.

Previously, PBU's academic programs and faculty members were positioned in either the undergraduate program or the graduate school. Now, the academic programs and faculty have been grouped into the seven schools listed below. The restructuring was initiated in response to a recommendation by the PA Department of Education when it granted PBU University status in July 2000.

"The repositioning of the various academic programs under the new schools will benefit the institution in a number of ways," said Provost Donald MacCullough. "It will broaden some of our students' exposure to faculty. Also, it will provide further opportunities for professional development and growth among faculty who are working together in the newly-created schools."

The new deans, schools and programs under each are as follows:

Dr. Jay Quine, Dean: School of Biblical Studies (B.S. Bible; M.S. Bible)

Dr. Robert Wenger, Dean: School of Arts and Sciences (No degrees offered)

Dr. Kevin Huggins, Dean: School of Church and Community Ministries
