GALLATIN, TN—Mrs. Jennifer Thompson has joined Welch College as Administrative Assistant to the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Dr. Greg Ketteman, and to the Dean of Adult and Online Studies, Mr. William Slater.

Mrs. Thompson’s new role combines the part-time roles of Administrative Assistant to the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, formerly held by Mrs. Sherry Russell, who retired in the summer, and Online and Adult Studies Assistant, currently held by Miss Alyssa Hill, who will now work full-time for the Financial Aid Office and the Business Office. 

Mrs. Thompson and her husband have two grown sons and three grandchildren. They are expecting a fourth grandchild in January. 

Ketteman said, “We are pleased to welcome Mrs. Thompson to the Welch team. She brings experience, a reputation for excellent work, and a strong Christian testimony to her role.”

Slater, who previously worked with Mrs. Thompson when he was headmaster at Hendersonville Christian Academy, stated, “Working with Mrs. Thompson again is a great joy. I have known her and her husband, Bo, for over twenty years. Her professionalism and commitment to ministry will be a great asset to the college.”
