People

Leland's faculty, staff, students and friends are a unique and diverse group.

Our faculty offers international diversity: including our new president, Mark Olson, Ph.D. who received his doctorate from the University of Virginia; a professor from Argentina (Daniel Carro, Ph.D.), one from Estonia (Tarmo Toom, Ph.D.), Ghana (Daniel Dapaah, Ph.D.) and an Academic Dean (Jeff Willets, Ph.D.) from North Carolina who received his doctorate from the University of Wales. Our faculty is uniquely qualified to prepare students for ministry in that most Leland professors spend their weekends preaching in local churches.

Leland students are no less diverse and interesting. Many of Leland Master's students already have a graduate degree. Most are professionals, with vocations including ministers, lawyers, Capitol Hill staff, students at all levels in the Department of Defense, GAO staff, teachers, engineers, an architect, an actress and computer technicians.

Our Diploma program is equally distinct. Diploma classes are currently taught in English in four locations throughout Virginia and in Spanish at the Arlington campus.
