“The colleges overall commitment to academic excellence, while shaping and influencing leaders to meet and embrace not only the challenges, but the opportunities of our time with critical thinking, is most evident,” said Goodloe.
“Moreover, doing so while having at the core of its mission the heart and commitment to advance God’s kingdom, places Westmount on a unique path for impact and promise not only for the Santa Barbara community, but for the state of California, our nation and the world.”
Goodloe said he hopes to advance the mission of the college, help it meet strategic short- and long-term goals, and maximize the educational and faith-based learning experience for students.
“Additionally, I hope and desire to see Westmont continue to grow in its diversity among students, faculty and staff,” he said. “This will be a critical time for the college to maintain its position as one of the leading Christian liberal arts colleges in the nation.”
