Dean of the Graduate School of Christendom College: Christendom Dean of the Graduate School of Christendom College: Christendom College invites applications for the position of Dean of the Graduate School of Christendom College. Christendom College, founded in 1977, is a four-year coeducational Roman Catholic Liberal Arts College with undergraduate and graduate programs offered on four campuses in Front Royal and Alexandria (Virginia), Donegal (Ireland), and Rome (Italy). The Dean of the Graduate School of Christendom College is the chief academic officer and administrative officer of the Graduate School, reporting to the Vice-President for Academic Affairs. The Graduate School was established in 1997 as the result of a merger between Christendom College and the Notre Dame Institute which was founded in 1969 by Msgr. Eugene Kevane. The Graduate School of Christendom College offers the Master of Arts in Theological Studies degree with concentrations in Systematic Theology, Moral Theology, Evangelization and Catechesis, Consecrated Life, or Spirituality. The Graduate School was also authorized by the Sacred Congregation for the Clergy to award both the Advanced and the Basic Apostolic Catechetical Diplomas; it also co-sponsors with the Institute on Religious Life the Vita Consecrata Institute (VCI) as a summer program of theological study and spiritual renewal for religious, priests, and other consecrated persons. Courses for the MA program may be taken on the Graduate School’s campus in Alexandria, VA or online, or by a combination of both formats. The Graduate School also offers courses at the undergraduate campus in Front Royal in a residency program over the summer months. Further information may be found at the Graduate School’s website graduate.christendom.edu. The Dean advises the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and carries out the academic policies for the admission, retention, and graduation of students at the Graduate School of Christendom College. The new Dean will oversee a period of significant growth in the Graduate School as envisaged in the College’s 2014 – 2019 Strategic Plan: increasing the size of the student body over the five year period, increasing support of the graduate school’s faculty, ensuring the degree program prepares students for success at the doctoral level, overseeing the move to a new campus location, and improving the Graduate School’s IT infrastructure. The ideal candidate will be an individual of integrity, an intellectual leader among the faculty, an advocate for the college and the graduate school, a creative problem solver, an energetic and engaged partner in building and enhancing relationships with the school’s many constituencies and the local community, and a skilled and conscientious administrator. The Dean must hold an earned doctorate in Theology or a closely related field and should have experience in academic administration. Nominations and applications are now being accepted and review of the application materials has begun. It is anticipated that the Dean will begin service towards the end of the Spring ’16 semester. Interested applicants should provide a curriculum vitae and a letter describing their background and interest and the relation of these to the Graduate School’s Mission to: Dr. Greg Townsend Vice-President for Academic Affairs Christendom College 134 Christendom Dr. Front Royal, VA 22630 Please direct inquiries about the position to Dr. Townsend ([email protected]).

(Video courtesy of Gellman Images) Catholic Athletes for Christ (CAC) honored Major League Baseball's Darrell Miller with its 4th annual Courage Award at a reception attended by more than 100 on October 21 in Arlington, Va. The award recognizes superior Catholic evangelization in sports.

He has been a supporter of CAC since its inception in 2006, serving on the organization's Athlete Advisory Board and its speakers bureau. "Darrell Miller, a convert to the Catholic faith, has been a tremendous advocate for faith in athletics, both on and off the playing field," CAC President Ray McKenna said. "Through his tireless effort in helping establish baseball's Urban Youth Academy for inner city children and his eagerness to speak about his Catholic faith to groups large and small, Darrel is a shining example of the 'new evangelization' in the world of sports." In addition to the Courage Award presentation to Miller, CAC honored student- athletes from the Catholic high schools (Seton School, Bishop O'Connell H.S., Bishop Ireton H.S., St. John Paul the Great H.S., and Paul VI H.S.) and colleges (Christendom College and Marymount University) in the Arlington Diocese.

  • Criminal Justice.Docx
    Criminal Justice Master of Science in Criminal Justice Criminal justice involves enforcing and maintaining laws, protecting U.S. citizens, and punishing individuals who commit crimes. A campus-based or online degree program in criminal justice provides students with a solid understanding of criminal justice and the related theories and concepts that apply to the legal and law enforcement fields. The programs include instruction on a variety of criminal justice topics, including criminology, corrections, forensic science, criminal law, criminal procedures, legal research, and law ethics. In addition to the criminal justice core courses, nearly all degree programs require general education courses to ensure students receive a well-rounded liberal arts education. General education courses assist individuals in effectively communicating with a wide range of people around the world. Students gain an understanding of their role in a diverse society, as well as their accountability in the world as a whole. The scope of the general education courses varies by programs, but majority of colleges and universities encourage students to complete their general education courses during the first year of coursework. Some schools do not allow students to register for upper-level coursework before completing the general education requirements. Also, many bachelor’s degree programs require the completion of general education classes by the junior year. Recommended Course-Work Students choosing to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice upon graduating Christendom College are advised to complete the following courses at Christendom College: While Christendom doesn’t offer any specific Criminal Justice courses, the following courses will help form a student’s mind to better learn and apply their knowledge to future classes.
