I have worked in higher education for over 20 years as a faculty member and administrator. Every day, I see students who struggle to navigate a confusing and broken world. Concordia University Chicago has the opportunity to provide education that puts Christ and His redeeming work at the center of all we do. An education centered on Christ and Christian teachings as the foundation of how we interact with the world prepares students for all their vocations and to bring the Gospel into the broader world. I am excited to use my position as a regent to support this important work.
