Meet Ben Mitchell
April 22, 2021 — Recently retired professor Ben Mitchell will be the featured speaker at the School of Theology and Mission's Annual Awards Banquet on Monday May 3rd. Dr. Mitchell was formerly Union's provost and a professor in the STM. The banquet will be in the Carl Grant Events Center at 6 p.m. Tickets are available in the STM office on the third floor of Jennings Hall: $5 for students, but the first 20 tickets sold will only be $2.
When I first met Dr. Mitchell, he introduced me to an ethical topic I knew nothing about: in-vitro fertilization. He was leading a discussion group for Scholars of Excellence, and he challenged us to think about what it means to value life. We may have walked into the room with the goal to prove how much we know, but all of us left with a greater understanding of life, ethics and what Union is about. Read More
