Very exciting times for my friend Derek Halvorson. This news is a month old, but just getting to me now:
1. On behalf of the Providence Christian College Board of Trustees, Chairman Pete Nanninga announced plans to merge the Christian liberal arts college in Pasadena, California with sister institution Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia.
2. In conjunction with the announcement of intention to merge, Covenant College Board Chairman Martin A. Moore announced the selection of Dr. J. Derek Halvorson as the sixth president of Covenant College. Dr. Halvorson’s tenure will begin on July 1, 2012.
Read the whole thing. Congratulations, Derek!
