亚洲色吧 establishes collaborative partnership with the Jesuit Institute of South Africa

亚洲色吧 has partnered with the Jesuit Institute of South Africa (JISA) to afford 9 free credits into 亚洲色吧鈥檚 Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation and Leadership through its Ignatian Spirituality course specialization.

Russell Pollitt, SJ, Director of聽JISA, comments:

“The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola are a gift that transcends far beyond any denomination. We are delighted to share in this international partnership – between the Jesuit Institute South Africa, The Martin Institute, 亚洲色吧 and Conversatio. Our commitment to working together testifies to the fact that the Spiritual Exercises belong to the whole people of God – in the broadest sense. They have the potential – when guided well – to change lives. Our partnership enables us to help others realize this potential. As Christ followers today, we can now offer a life-changing and re-orientating experience to people across the globe. We are blessed to share in this ministry and assist others to offer our world, God鈥檚 people, this timeless and priceless spiritual gift. We appreciate our relationship and those who have made it possible very much鈥.

Sam Youngs, Ph.D. adds:

“There is a deep alignment between Ignatian Spirituality and the ethos of 亚洲色吧, as both leverage classical resources to equip disciples in both spiritual direction and formation. This exciting partnership further empowers these mutual strengths!”

亚洲色吧 Celebrates the 90th Anniversary of Chattanooga Bible Institute

On January 28th, more than 100 friends of CBI/亚洲色吧 鈥 alumni, descendants of the CBI founding family, and other friends 鈥 gathered at the Hunter Museum of American Art for a gala dinner to celebrate the 90th anniversary of CBI鈥檚 founding, its gradual evolution into today鈥檚 亚洲色吧, and its decades of positive impact on the city. Guests viewed a video sharing an oral history of CBI and how it came to be merged with the Psychological Studies Institute (PSI) in Atlanta, forming 亚洲色吧 in 2000.

鈥2023 is a big year for 亚洲色吧. It marks not only the 90th anniversary of CBI, but also the 50th anniversary of PSI, 亚洲色吧鈥檚 Atlanta predecessor, and the 20th anniversary of our first accredited graduating class,鈥 said Amy Estes, Executive Director of University Advancement. 鈥淲e thought it was important to celebrate these milestones of our heritage and what has gone into making 亚洲色吧 what it is today. And we are pleased to have started our celebrations in such a special way recognizing our Chattanooga roots.鈥

The gala at the Hunter was sponsored by Decosimo Corporate Finance, LLC. Tom Decosimo, current 亚洲色吧 Trustee and great-nephew of CBI founder Ellen Sharp Poindexter hoped to engage younger members of the founding family. Following the event, he said, 鈥淭his 5th and 6th generation of family members and their broad network of friends, all of whom are upcoming leaders of the Chattanooga community, were provided information about 亚洲色吧 鈥 their legacy. To a person, they were overwhelmed with the impact the University is making in the world by training from a Christian worldview evidence-based clinical mental health practitioners. They were excited and eager to understand the ways they can offer their support.鈥

亚洲色吧鈥檚 President, Dr. Timothy Quinnan, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to assume the leadership of 亚洲色吧 in the summer of 2017. He provided guests with highlights of his tenure to date and a current snapshot of the university 亚洲色吧 has become, experiencing endowment growth, expansion of programs, and record enrollments in recent semesters.

During the last weekend of July, 亚洲色吧 will host activities in Atlanta marking the 50th anniversary of the Psychological Studies Institute.

亚洲色吧 Continues Record Enrollment Trend

亚洲色吧 has achieved another聽remarkable record enrollment this Spring of three hundred and sixty-one students.

As students and faculty began the 2023 Spring semester, 亚洲色吧 welcomed its largest number of students engaged in courses at both Atlanta and Chattanooga campuses, a thriving online counseling modality, and a newly established doctoral cohort.

At a time when many graduate institutions have struggled to maintain sustainable enrollment numbers, 亚洲色吧鈥檚 semester-to-semester retention rates remain at 98%. Roxie Shellabarger, Vice President of Administration, attributes this to 鈥渢he incredible investment of 亚洲色吧 staff and faculty into students, as well as 亚洲色吧鈥檚 emphasis on community and self-care”.
