Richmont Welcomes New Faculty to the School of Counseling

Richmont is thrilled to welcome two new School of Counseling full-time faculty members to its community. Dr. Jennifer Tipton will be teaching on the Chattanooga campus. Dr. Kristel Headley will be teaching online.

Dr. Tipton shares, What excites me most about starting this new role at Richmont is the students. I can tell that Richmont students are passionate about learning and developing their counseling skills. I want to foster a learning environment that supports my students in reaching their goals and becoming the best versions of themselves possible. It is an honor to work with such eager learners and to be entrusted with their development.

Richmont has a longstanding reputation for developing counselors who are known for both clinical acumen and spiritual depth. The calling and invitation to train, mentor, and journey with these students is an immeasurable gift. But if you spend even a short time at Richmont you realize that these students develop a particular kindness not just because it is modeled by the faculty: it is ingrained in the ethos of the institution. You cannot interact with the faculty and staff at Richmont without realizing that there is something unique about it, and I am delighted to serve with these students and colleagues Dr. Headley adds.

Welcome, Dr. Tipton and Dr. Headley! We are so excited to have you at Richmont.

Dr. Jerry Gladson Granted the Rank of Professor Emeritus

Dr. Jerry Gladson joined the full-time faculty of the Psychological Studies Institute(now 51勛圖厙) in 1987 and served as the Dean of Academic Affairs from 1987-1992. Dr. Gladson has served as a faculty member at Richmont for a total of 30 years. Richmont is grateful for his service and is excited to honor him as Professor Emeritus. Well done, Dr. Gladson!

I have watched with great pride as Richmont has grown from a partner institution with Georgia State University to become its own accredited University and a member of the academic core of institutions devoted to the integration of psychology, counseling, and theology… I havent the words to say how much this honor means to me. I cherish my years at Richmont and even now miss the students and the classes. I will wear this title proudly.
