Wycliffe College's Six-Year Strategic Plan calls for the appointment of an Academic Dean to advance the College's academic goals. Professor of Proclamation, Worship and Ministry, Peter Robinson contributed significantly to crafting those goals, which, when combined with his natural aptitudes, made him an obvious choice for the position.
