Dr. Christopher Ocker will continue serving as Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs and John Dillenberger Professor of the History of Christianity, a position he assumed on an interim basis on July 1, 2024. Given his status as a long-standing member of the community with a deep appreciation for the GTU's traditions, Centers, and member schools, Ocker’s leadership is needed at this time of intense challenge and unprecedented opportunity for graduate education in theology and religion.
