Williams Baptist University issued the following announcement on Sept. 23.

Williams Baptist University has announced the appointment of alumnus Tim Chatman as dean of students.

Chatman will oversee initiatives that support WBU’s residential and student life experiences. In addition, he will work with WBU provost and vice president for student life, Dr. Marvin Schoenecke, to oversee the school’s efforts to blend learning, spiritual formation, and leadership development in residential and extra-curricular experiences.

“I am excited to join the wonderful team already in place at Williams,” Chatman said. “We must ensure that the students God has given WBU are given every opportunity to not only succeed academically but to also thrive socially and interpersonally. All of those areas must be firmly rooted in God’s word, and we must use every interaction as an opportunity for evangelism and discipleship.”

He has previous experience in Christian higher education, including various roles at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in the admissions office and in student development as director of the Recreation and Aerobics Center.

Chatman most recently served as the associate pastor of youth, young families and administration at First Baptist Church in Paris, Texas where he led a youth ministry, mentored young families, and assisted in administrative and preaching duties. He also served as the church’s contemporary worship pastor and interim worship pastor.
