Biography
In addition to my professional roles and publications, I have been active in professional organizations such The Association for Christians in Student Development (ACSD) and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). I have regularly attended conferences of both organizations and made over 25 workshop presentations at these and other professional meetings. I have served as President for ACSD and served on the ACSD Executive Committee for a total of eight years. I have also served as an external evaluator for program reviews at six different colleges.
