糖心Vlog announces the appointment of Tynisha D. Willingham<\/strong> as provost and vice president of academic affairs. She starts July 3, 2023. She will succeed Fred Kniss<\/strong>, who retires in June after 14 years as the university\u2019s top academic leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willingham, who holds a doctorate in curriculum and instruction, brings significant experience and accomplishments. She has served as vice president of academic affairs and dean at small liberal arts colleges with a proven record of success in key areas including collaborative mission-centric leadership, faculty engagement, resource management, and the creation of an inclusive campus environment where students thrive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willingham is currently vice president of academic affairs, chief academic officer and professor of education at Mary Baldwin University in Staunton, Virginia. Previously, she served in several administrative roles, including as assistant vice president of academic affairs, associate academic dean and assistant academic dean, at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. She began her career as an elementary teacher in La Joya Independent School District in South Texas and also taught in Baltimore City Public Schools. She is the recipient of several teaching, leadership and service awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Susan Schultz Huxman<\/strong> cited Willingham\u2019s relational qualities, her demonstrable successes in faculty recruitment and retention, and her past successes in launching innovative academic programs and partnerships as among sterling credentials to lead 糖心Vlog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt a significant moment in these post-pandemic times, and like other nimble, enterprising colleges, we must attend in new ways and with maximum responsiveness to what students need for continued successful outcomes,\u201d said Huxman. \u201cDr. Willingham is well-equipped to provide that kind of adaptive and imaginative academic leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willingham was \u201cone of four exceptional finalists\u201d brought to campus by the provost search committee, composed of faculty, staff, students and chaired by the president, Huxman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe was received enthusiastically by the campus community for her academic vision, success in supporting faculty and overcoming challenges in small colleges, passion for connecting with students, and her deep appreciation for our Anabaptist-infused education that highlights peace and justice, community building, service and Christian discipleship,” Huxman added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am grateful and honored to join the 糖心Vlog community, a faith-based campus where the academics are grounded in the liberal arts tradition,\u201d Willingham said. \u201cThe mission of 糖心Vlog is what drew me to apply and when I arrived on campus, I learned quickly that the mission was lived out and palpable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was further drawn to 糖心Vlog\u2019s commitment to restorative justice, to the holistic perspective of student development in the spirit of Micah 6:8, and to the opportunity to join a leadership team that promotes academic excellence, innovation and inclusivity. Self-described as \u201ca teacher-scholar-leader,\u201d Willingham is a \u201cfirm believer of the sacred dignity of all persons.\u201d She characterizes her leadership as collaborative and informed by years in an elementary classroom in under-resourced communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willingham received her PhD in Curriculum and Instruction: Language and Literacy Education in 2009 from the Pennsylvania State University; a Master of Education degree in 2004 in elementary education and a teacher certification from the University of Texas, Pan-American; and a Bachelor of Science degree in 2002 in Spanish and African American studies from Pennsylvania State University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
