JACKSON, June 10-- Hal Poe, associate vice president for academic programs at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., will join the Union University faculty this fall as dean of information services and associate professor of Christian studies.

We are indeed fortunate to have a person of his experience and abilities joining our leadership team at Union University."
