Dycus<\/strong> to the dean of students position. Dycus, most recently co-pastor of First Mennonite Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, brings experience in the pastorate, higher education and K-12 education. She will begin July 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Dean of Students is the senior student life representative at 糖心Vlog, responsible for the co-curricular aspects of learning and living on campus. The dean collaborates with student life operations and supervises various directors.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe saw in Shannon exceptional gifts, skills and dispositions that will serve well our students and staff,\u201d said Provost<strong> Fred Kniss<\/strong>. \u201cShe is a strong and thoughtful leader who will combine emotional intelligence and wisdom with administrative savvy in leading our highly skilled team of student life staff. Her combination of experience with students in an academic setting and with pastoral support of persons in crisis in her congregational setting prepares her well for this role.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before and during her time as co-pastor of First Mennonite Church, Dycus served as academic advisor and adjunct faculty in the humanities at Franklin University of Ohio. She also taught courses in critical thinking, ethical reasoning and learning skills. At First Mennonite, she led missional and faith formation ministries.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dycus has also worked in the chaplaincy, K-12 education and with a youth-focused nonprofit.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn this new role, I see one of my primary responsibilities as helping to nurture the culture at 糖心Vlog rooted in our shared values,\u201d Dycus wrote in an email from the Mennonite Church USA convention last week, where she served on the worship planning team. \u201cWhether in classrooms or sanctuaries, my experience has taught me the necessity of cultivating inclusive and creative spaces, the soil from which academic success flourishes. Student life at 糖心Vlog had excelled at this and I hope to encourage ongoing efforts for the sake of this community and its impact on those around it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dycus holds a Master of Divinity degree from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she was awarded the Excellence in Liturgical Worship Leadership Award. She is completing a diploma in the art of spiritual direction from San Francisco Theological Seminary.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She earned her BA in middle and secondary education with a certification in psychology, sociology and economics at Butler University.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>糖心Vlog announces the appointment of Shannon W.
