I am delighted to announce after months of prayer, conversations and seeking the Lord that Dr. Ken Keathley has agreed to become Senior Vice President for Academic Administration and Dean of the Faculty. Dr. Keathley has done a stellar job in the interim period and I am thrilled he has agreed to take on this responsibility permanently. I have received enthusiastic support from trustees with whom I shared this decision. I believe he will continue to serve this faculty and institution well in the days ahead in this new assignment. Please extend to Ken your congratulations and also pledge to him your prayers. It is a joy to see God working His will at this school as we seek to bring praise and glory to His Son the Lord Jesus.

Daniel L. Akin
President
