Kelsey Wallace, MDiv, PhD

Kelsey co-leads the Student & Academic Services (SAS) Team alongside Daniel Tidwell-Davis. As the Registrar, she also provides oversight of registration and scheduling processes, academic records, academic advising, and graduate programs coordination.

“It is a privilege to walk with students from the first day they enter our doors, virtual or physical, until they cross the stage at graduation,” Kelsey says. She loves hearing about students’ lives and what draws them to their work. She also enjoys finding creative solutions to help students succeed while fitting graduate school into their already busy schedules. She sees her Registrar role as a continuation of her years of experience in teaching and academic coaching.

Kelsey holds a BA from the University of Delaware and an MDiv from Lancaster Theological Seminary. She received her PhD in Hebrew Bible (with a concentration in Women’s and Gender Studies) from Drew University in 2024. Her dissertation is entitled: “Remembering the Future: Exodus, Science Fiction, and the Strategies of Memory.” Her research interests include science fiction, popular culture, coping with narratives of violence, cultural memory, contextual hermeneutics, and critical theory.
