Board meetings and strategic plans from Fuller Theological Seminary
This strategic plan serves as a roadmap for Fuller Theological Seminary to revitalize its vision of forming global leaders for kingdom vocations. It focuses on six key priorities: identifying strategic relationships and partnerships, building an engaged and diverse student body, accelerating resource development to increase learners, developing a strategically aligned and diverse faculty, creating a sustainable financial model, and conducting a major fundraising campaign. The plan aims for institutional flourishing by rethinking structure, programs, resources, and partnerships, while addressing a changing church and world.
The session focused on celebrating Black History Month and the musical traditions of African-Americans, emphasizing rhythm, call and response, and communal song. Key discussion points included the foundational role of music traditions carried from Africa and their evolution through spirituals, blues, gospel, and subsequent genres like rock and roll and hip-hop. The session specifically highlighted gospel music across five decades, featuring detailed stories and performances related to Sister Rosetta Tharpe's foundational 1947 recording "Up Above My Head" (considered a blueprint for rock and roll) and Dr. Richard Smallwood's 1987 composition "Center of My Joy," which blended classical precision with gospel soul. The event also touched upon the significance of gospel music as a tool for resistance and organization during pivotal moments in Black American history, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
The session focused on revisiting the history and traditions of the School of Psychology, anchored by social context from the time periods of former deans. Key figures discussed included Lee Edward Travis, who was praised for his grace and contributions, including pioneering brainwave recordings and founding the American Speech Pathology Association. The discussion highlighted early faculty members such as Don Cole, known for his unpredictable schedule due to Air Force commitments, and Neil Maloney, who was recruited from the South. Special recognition was given to Marnie Fredrickson for her vital supportive role, and to Don Tweedy, the first clinic director who recently passed away. Paul Clement was acknowledged for his critical role in securing American Psychological Association (APA) accreditation, particularly overcoming initial denials through his expertise and contacts.
