\"Dr.
Dr. Nancy Heisey<\/div>\n

Dr. Nancy Heisey<\/a>, professor of Bible and religion at EMU, will begin a three-year term in a new role as vice president and undergraduate academic dean on July 1, 2010. <\/p>\n

The appointment was announced by EMU President Loren Swartzendruber<\/a> and EMU Provost Fred Kniss<\/a>. Dr. Vernon Jantzi<\/a>, professor emeritus of sociology<\/a>, has been serving as interim undergraduate academic dean this academic year. <\/p>\n

“The search committee identified four primary characteristics that the next academic dean should embody – an ‘inductive visionary,’ a leader who could make good decisions expeditiously, communicate them clearly and implement them effectively; an advocate for the faculty and the resources they need for personal and professional development and a scholar committed to a holistic approach to student learning,” Dr. Kniss said. “We believe that Nancy Heisey has the experience, motivation and disposition to meet these high standards.” <\/p>\n

Heisey joined the EMU faculty in 1999 following a distinguished career of administrative leadership with the Mennonite Central Committee, Akron, Pa. She completed a six-year term as president of Mennonite World Conference in 2009. She has been a prolific writer and speaker throughout her career. <\/p>\n

She received a BA degree from Messiah College, Grantham, Pa.; an MDiv degree from Eastern Mennonite Seminary; and MA and PhD degree from Temple University. <\/p>\n

She is married to Paul Longacre, who volunteers in community and family organizations in Virgina and Pennsylvania, and is a member of Community Mennonite Church, Harrisonburg. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
