ST. LOUIS 鈥� Molly A. Schaller, Ph.D., a professor of higher education and associate dean at Saint 直播自慰视频 University鈥檚 School of Education, has been named an inaugural advisory board member for a new consultation on the future of church-related universities.

Schaller鈥檚 appointment was announced by Indiana Wesleyan University. The consultation is a partnership between the Lilly Fellows Program based at Valparaiso University and Indiana Wesleyan鈥檚 Lumen Research Institution

The consultation will engage the challenges of the higher education landscape and provide resources for discernment for leaders, teachers, and scholars called to care for the Church-related university鈥檚 future.

鈥淚 am so pleased to have a chance to contribute to this important work,鈥� Schaller said. 鈥淔unding and mission will need to be directly connected for church-related universities to have a bright future. I am especially looking forward to working with this esteemed group of colleagues on this work.鈥�

Schaller has taught master鈥檚 and doctoral courses in higher education administration programs for over 20 years. She publishes on student affairs in Catholic colleges and universities, leadership, and college student development.

The 鈥淔uture of Church-Related Universities鈥� consultation begins with a 鈥淔unding the Future鈥� initiative led by President Jon S. Kulaga of Indiana Wesleyan University and Beck A. Taylor, president of Samford University.

A second initiative, 鈥淢inding the Mission,鈥� will be led by David W. Wright, president emeritus of Indiana Wesleyan University; Barry H. Corey, president, Biola University; and Perry L. Glanzer, professor of educational foundations at Baylor University.

Subsequent initiatives may focus on administrators, curriculum, faculty, students, and trustees.

鈥淓veryone acknowledges that the funding model for higher education 鈥� church-related higher ed included 鈥� is broken, so I鈥檓 excited about the opportunity to address this issue head-on,鈥� said Joe Creech, Lilly Fellows program director. 鈥淏ut we need to do more than just survive. We need to move forward with a sense of purpose that permeates our institutions, and so it鈥檚 critical that this funding conversation take place within the larger context of mission.鈥�

Other board members include:
