Dr. Mark Hausfeld appointed president of AGTS at Evangel
Following a national search with the help of CarterBaldwin Executive Search, Evangel University president, Dr. Carol Taylor, is pleased to announce that Dr. Mark Hausfeld has been appointed by the Board of Trustees as president of AGTS at Evangel.
Dr. Taylor received Board of Trustee approval during their June 10 meeting. Hausfeld will succeed retiring president Dr. Byron Klaus and will begin his tenure on July 1.
"As a graduate of both Evangel University and AGTS, Dr. Hausfeld is uniquely positioned to lead AGTS into the future as part of the larger Evangel University," Taylor said. "He possesses broad pastoral, missionary, academic and leadership experience, and I am eager for him to join the senior leadership team for the University." Read more.
Message from retiring president Byron D. Klaus
I want to offer a final word of thanks to the AGTS alumni family who support this wonderful seminary and made my 16 years here a treasure to be cherished. The AGTS family is a special cadre of people who care deeply about the Church and leadership in Christ's Kingdom. I am so pleased my successor is Dr. Mark Hausfeld! He's a personal friend and a fellow Chicagoan--although he roots for the wrong baseball team.
Dr. Hausfeld is deeply committed to reaching cities for Jesus Christ and passionate about touching the Muslim world with the Gospel.
As an alum of both Evangel University and AGTS, he will be working with our four AGTS members (see below) who serve on the EU Alumni Board to represent over 3,500 seminary graduate alumni within the larger university alumni community. President Hausfeld will lead new pathways to strengthen our joint community including communications to you as members of this great alumni family. Occasionally you will receive news from the university such as The Quad---Evangel's alumni and friends newsletter---and invitations to events.
Thanks again for all the kind words upon my retirement. I am the richer for being part of this wonderful AGTS family. Please extend to your new seminary president, the support and generosity you have given me over the last 16 years. Despite being a White Sox fan, he can be trusted!
