"Standing Faithful to the Testimony of Jesus Christ"

---

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus who is the Christ:

Indeed it is an honor to serve as academic dean of this historic school that has a legacy of being able to work with many individuals to attend here at Union. Many have moved on to impact lives on the local and national level.

Learning the way of Jesus is the centerpiece of our academic work at this school. Increase knowledge of the lives and experiences of others, particularly of those who are often ignored or pushed aside have always been on our agenda.

So we invite you to join a community of learners and professors as we move forward in meeting the challenge.

Grateful to be grafted in the Vine,

Joseph A. Brooks, D.D.

Dean, Union Baptist College and Theological Seminary
