Joanna Schofield, director of academic services for Bethany Theological Seminary and the Earlham School of Religion (ESR), has submitted her resignation. She has accepted an offer to work in a similar position for a newly created regional campus of Miami University. Ms. Schofield has served in her current position since 1999.

"Joanna has served both seminaries with thoughtfulness and integrity, and modeled well the challenging work of the joint employee," said Jay Marshall, dean of ESR. "We wish her great success and happiness in her new venture." Representatives from both seminaries will work together to develop plans for an employee search process.
