Divinity Professor Joins Accreditation Team in Myanmar

Dr. Jeanneth H. Faller, an assistant professor from the Divinity School, was one of the members of the accreditation team from the Association of Theological Education in Southeast Asia (ATESEA) that evaluated the programs of 18 theology schools in Myanmar.

Dr. Faller, who handles Christian Education and is currently chairperson of the University Spiritual Life Council, joined the ATESEA accreditation in December. She was among experts tasked to assess the theology schools’ current degree program offerings and focus, nature of governance, teaching methodologies, and partnership potential.

The accreditation visit also presented an opportunity Dr. Faller to interface with school administrators and faculty and share with them best practices at the Divinity School in Silliman.
