Meet the Provost
Dr. Jennifer Shewmaker, Provost
We are nearing Christmas break, and there are decorations up and holiday cheer is spreading across the campus! I joined Lipscomb as the provost in September, and I am enjoying the beauty of the fall and the holiday season here in Nashville and on campus.
As the provost, I get to spend a lot of time with faculty members. I love to see the way that Lipscomb faculty support our students in a variety of ways, from inviting them into their homes to having coffee and conversation to helping students connect with peer tutors when they need that little extra bit of preparation for an exam or assignment.
It is such a joy to work with our faculty in teaching, mentoring and supporting each student to develop their strengths and to consider how God is calling them to use what they are learning at Lipscomb to take His light into the world to love and serve our neighbors. If there is one thing I hear most often from faculty, it is a deep commitment to nurturing our students to serve in their profession with excellence and love.
As we near the end of the semester, I ask that you pray for our students and the faculty and staff here at Lipscomb. Please pray that we will finish the semester with strength and grace, remembering that the work we do here is ultimately to glorify God and serve our students.
