In August, Dr. Barry Smith became Tyndale’s new VP, Student Services and Registrar. Before coming to Tyndale, Barry Smith spent nearly 25 years at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York. He was Vice President of Student Services there for almost 14 years. Prior to his time at Roberts, Dr. Smith was an admissions officer for Asbury Theological Seminary. He served as Director of Admissions at Roberts Wesleyan College before his promotion to VP, Student Services. Tyndale President, Dr. Nelson, is “excited to have someone of his caliber join the senior management team of Tyndale.”

Initially Dr. Smith wanted to get into the field of social work: “If I knew what I know now in my twenties, I would have chosen to get into the field of Student Services back then. At the time, however, I was planning to go into social work. My path was changed by various circumstances but eventually led me into the field I love.”
