The MacLaurin Institute is pleased to announce the hire of a new Executive Director. After a nation-wide search, Dr. R. Bryan Bademan has been chosen to succeed Bob Osburn’s 12 years of faithful service at the Institute. Bademan will continue to build on the strong regional and national foundation laid during Osburn’s tenure.

Dr. Bademan is excited to further develop MacLaurin Institute’s national recognition as a center for Christian intellectual life and creative Christian engagement with academic disciplines and the scholarly vocation. He believes that centers like the MacLaurin Institute can lead the way in promoting first-rate scholarship in constructive dialogue with the biblical tradition and the historic Christian faith.
