Emory University has announced the selection of the Rev. Bridgette Young Ross to be its next dean of the chapel and spiritual life, beginning July 1. She will succeed the Rev. Susan Henry-Crowe, who in February assumed the executive directorship of the United Methodist Church (UMC) General Board of Church and Society, in Washington, D.C.

“Bridgette Young Ross brings great gifts of faith, intellect, bridge-building and mentorship to the work of the Office of Spiritual Life,” says Emory President James Wagner. “She will continue to strengthen the vibrant and formative interfaith dynamics that are a hallmark of Emory as a research university.

“As she engages students, faculty and staff in questions of spiritual meaning through collaborations with our various schools and divisions,” says Wagner, “she will both provide leadership on ethical issues confronting the university and represent the religious dimensions of Emory to the broader world.”

For the past five years, Ross has served as assistant general secretary of the UMC General Board of Higher Education and Ministry, in Nashville, Tennessee. Responsible for supporting and equipping more than 500 collegiate ministries in the United States and for helping develop collegiate ministries in many of the more than 800 institutions of higher education in the Methodist tradition around the world, she has led the church in providing new training programs, online support, national networking and leadership development.

Ross previously served at Emory from 2000 to 2009 as associate dean of the chapel. In that capacity she was a vital spiritual leader, committed to the religious and ethical formation of the entire university community, including faculty and staff as well as students.
