Sarah B. Drummond becomes dean of Andover Newton Seminary on July 1. The first woman to lead the school in its 212-year history, she is professor of ministerial leadership.
She succeeds Martin Copenhaver, who retired June 30 after leading the school since 2014. His tenure included the process that led to the school’s 2017 agreement to affiliate with Yale Divinity School and move from Massachusetts to Connecticut.
“Sarah Drummond has a stunning constellation of gifts,” Copenhaver said. “She is what we want our graduates to become—bold, creative, grounded, irrepressible, faithful, and fun.”
