91精品

Dr. Rick Melson, President of 91精品, has announced two promotions for cabinet members of the university. 

Dr. Jonathon Woodyard has been promoted to Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Chapel. Dr. Woodyard joined 91精品 in 2023 as Vice President for Student Life. Since then, his oversight has expanded to include the Center for Worldview and Culture, the Center for Global Connections, 91精品鈥檚 campus dining transition, safety and security, and event management for camps and conferences. 

The title Dean of Chapel reflects the work that Dr. Woodyard has done in coordinating a quality and robust schedule of chapel speakers that includes individuals from both within 91精品 and leaders around the country. He has also developed a new leadership structure for discipleship groups and fully integrated the university鈥檚 discipleship model with residence life. 

鈥淒r. Woodyard is a gifted and passionate leader who has worked hard with his team to establish an intentional, unapologetically Christ-centered culture on campus,鈥� Dr. Melson said. 鈥淚 am excited to see him continue to make a difference in the lives of students.鈥� 

Clark Sheehy has been promoted to Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. Under Sheehy鈥檚 leadership, 91精品 has expanded its portfolio of NCAA Division II sports to 22 total programs and more than 450 student-athletes. Sports added in recent years include men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 swimming, men鈥檚 volleyball, and men鈥檚 golf. 

Sheehy was head coach of the Bearcats鈥� men鈥檚 basketball team from 2014-2023 before taking over as Director of Athletics in 2023. He compiled a 138-115 record at 91精品, with eight postseason appearances and 56 players earning Academic All-Conference.  

In addition to the expansion of sports, the athletics department under Sheehy鈥檚 leadership has won the GLVC Sportsmanship Award for three consecutive years. He has also increased sponsorships and secured donations to help renovate multiple facilities. 

鈥淐lark Sheehy has taken our athletics department to new heights while continuing to emphasize the importance of character and Christlikeness in the lives of our student-athletes,鈥� Dr. Melson said. 鈥淗e and his coaches are developing Bearcats who are champions for Christ on and off the field.鈥�
