Oakwood Faculty and Staff Prepare for the 2014-2015 Academic School Year
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on July 24, 2014 by Timothy McDonald, Ed.D., provost and senior vice president To "Start Strong and Finish Strong" is the challenge that will be issued to faculty and staff during the school's annual Colloquium scheduled for August 4-7, under the theme, "Sustaining Our Mission in Challenging Times." The intention, according to President Leslie Pollard, is to review and understand the challenges of our day, but to stay focused on the premise of "motivating our faculty and staff to remain true to the mission of Adventist higher education and Oakwood, which is to transform students through biblically based education for leadership service to God and humanity." Guest speakers this year include Debleaire Snell, senior pastor of the First Seventh-day Adventist Church in Huntsville, Ala.; Dr. Paul Brantley, vice president for the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists; Dr. Ivory Toldson, from the White House Initiative on HBCUs, and Dr. Colwick Wilson of Loma Linda University. Reports and presentations on specific direction and targeted purposes for the new year will be presented by the president, deans and vice presidents. Particular attention will highlight aspects of the newly developed Strategic Action Plan, updates on infusing Biblical Foundations in the curriculum and progress on implementing critical thinking across the curriculum as specified in the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).
