Midwestern to Host First Annual President's Day
Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MBTS) will hold its first annual President’s Day on Tuesday, May 3, at the seminary’s Kansas City, Mo. campus.
According to Dr. Jim Sells, Midwestern’s interim director of institutional advancement, the trustees have established the event for the purpose of recognizing those individuals who have had a significant impact on Midwestern and Christian higher education.
Moreover, it is designed to recognize the "exemplary leadership" of Midwestern President Dr. R. Philip Roberts, who began his fourth year of service in January.
