We have some exciting news for all of you as the School of Honors transitions to the Steelman Library. Please join us in celebrating Prof. Amy Beatty as her role in the School of Honors Family extends.

With Prof. Beatty’s extensive knowledge in research and passion for students, we are excited to announce she will be leading the School of Honors and the Steelman Library as Dean.

Prof. Beatty has been at SEU since 2017 and moved into the Steelman Library Dean position in 2019. She has also been teaching Intro to Honors Thesis since 2017. She loves the library! She has two children. Her son just got married, and her daughter is a sophomore at Covenant College (in the honors program). Professor Beatty and her husband, Brad, have been married for almost 26 years and have been in some sort of ministry for most of their marriage.

Prof. Beatty’s heart is to help you thrive while you are at SEU- not just academically, but heart and soul too. Please join us in celebrating Prof. Beatty!

In Honors Chapel on Thursday (1/23), Dr. Gordon Miller, Dean of the School of Honors, gave a message on how God works in every season, even though we may not be actively aware of His presence in any given moment. Following the message, Dr. Miller announced that he is transitioning into a new chapter of his life. After 15 years of faithful service in the School of Honors at SEU, he will be retiring within the next year and a half.

Please join us in celebrating Dr. Miller and honoring all that he has done to develop the School of Honors and impact so many lives.
