Leadership
Meet the President’s Cabinet
I am so glad that you have chosen to engage with Malone during such an exciting time in our university’s history.
For more than 130 years, the heart of our mission has been to disciple students towards Christ so that they are equipped to serve in their churches, communities, and the world. Not only are Malone graduates respected for expertise in their chosen field and integrity in the workplace, but they’re also known for the servant leadership and care that they exhibit in industry, non-profit, educational, medical, and ministry settings. We take seriously our mission to prepare them for what God has called them to do, and it is our joy to walk alongside them as they discover how He desires to work in their lives.
The Malone student experience is unique because we frame our outlook on the world through a different lens, considering where the truth of God’s Word intersects with academic disciplines and with a student’s sense of purpose and calling. Our Evangelical Friends heritage models a beautiful balance of warm-hearted evangelical piety and a commitment to social action, informing our curriculum and shaping our relationships with one another. Malone faculty and staff are eager to support students in the classroom, in the residence halls, on the athletic field, in the musical rehearsal, and whatever falls in between. Our community helps students navigate life with a perspective that balances grace and truth so that they can be a light in the world.
Whether you are new to Malone or have a long legacy with us, it’s my prayer that you continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ as you discern the path He has chosen for you.
It’s my joy to walk with you in the journey.
