Union University’s associate provost and dean of instruction will be taking a new job. Barbara McMillin has been named the new president of Blue Mountain College. “The thing that excites me the most is the opportunity to pursue with this group of faculty and a new group of students the integration of faith and learning, because that‘s a topic about which I am very passionate,” McMillin said. “I am excited to partner with Blue Mountain College to consider how we can together foster the development of Christian higher education, which means that we recognize the lordship of Christ over all the disciplines.” McMillin has worked at Union for twenty years and began working there as an English professor. She has served in her current role since 2006. “There‘s no describing the extent to which I will miss my beloved colleagues with whom I have linked arms now for a very long time,” she said about leaving Union. Union University President David S. Dockery congratulated both McMillin and Blue Mountain. “We are happy for our colleague and our sister institution,” Dockery said. “Dr. McMillin will bring exceptional experience to this role, both as a talented classroom teacher and conscientious administrator.
