    Is being converted to the 'Southwestern Women's Center' in keeping with new president Adam Greenway's initiative to empower and equip women for leadership:

    Baptist Press • Changes at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

    "The Southwestern Women's Center...will provide a central location for any female member of the Southwestern family to seek resources, connection, practical training and mentoring as a catalyst for professional, academic and leadership development."

    "The Women's Center also will host events to promote a robust and positive climate for women on campus through discussion groups, mentoring, networking and advising."

    Terri Stovall to lead Women's Center initiative:

    "Her office -- along with that of Katie McCoy, assistant professor of theology in women's studies -- will be located in the Women's Center, providing a designated, confidential place where women can express needs or concerns."

    A safe place for female seminarians:

    "this change indicates the administration's desire to have a woman, who has some authority, to be a safe person for a woman to come should she need to express a concern or need. This was one of Dr. Greenway's first priorities and changes he made for women at Southwestern....being a woman in ministry is not always easy," Stovall said. "And sometimes, you just need someone to be your advocate"

    "[We'll be] 'more focused to serve women and to influence the culture here at Southwestern,' Stovall said. 'In addition to our regular open hours, we will be planning specific opportunities for professional and ministry development, hands-on leadership skills enhancement, colloquiums for our female doctoral students and other activities that will serve the Southwestern woman as she prepares for the next ministry the Lord has for her.'"
