Tim Perrin, currently the vice dean and professor at the Pepperdine University School of Law, was named President of Lubbock Christian University on February 3, 2012. The announcement was made this morning in a news conference carried live online at LCU.edu/live.
Perrin, a 1984 graduate of Lubbock Christian, will succeed Ken Jones who held the presidential position for 18 years. Jones transitioned to the role of chancellor last year.
“I can’t describe the sense of privilege and the sense of honor I feel in being given this great trust, sacred trust, to take on this role,” Perrin said after the announcement, according to The Christian Chronicle.
Seeing the numerous positions Perrin held during his time it Pepperdine, it comes as no surprise that Perrin characterizes himself as a “passionate advocate” for Christian higher education.
“I want to be a part of a place that pursues not just knowledge but wisdom,” the Christian Chronicle reported.
