Welcome to the Dale Kietzman University - The school of Development. This is a special place of learning, celebration, and study of those things that matter most to us and our world. Here we discover and explore where faith and development meet and combine in exciting and challenging ways to equip people as leaders in the church and in the world.
I am delighted that you have chosen to explore the possibilities at Dale Kietzman University. Whether you seek Development education for professional leadership in the church, in the working place or in other areas of society, or for continuing professional education, we have a wealth of offerings to support your goals.
We offer an ecumenical, intellectually rigorous, and spiritually rich environment in which to deepen knowledge, deepen faith, and prepare for leadership. We are grounded in and sustained by the conviction that development studies are powerful, relevant, and transformative for the world of the 21st century, and we believe we are called to educate leaders who will inspire and move people to a more loving, just and peaceful world.
I have spent my life in community development projects in Latin America and supervising Ph.D. students in the USA, and trust this University will be a legacy of commitment to social change and transformative ministries; with a forward-looking, integrated curriculum; a gifted, caring, internationally known faculty; a wide array of resources; a beautiful campus that is an oasis within a vibrant urban area and an attentive staff. These should all combine to serve you as you strengthen your faith and prepare for ministry. Explore the many possibilities at Dale Kietzman University - and join us on the transformative journey that International Development education invites us into.
Sincerely,
Dale W. Kietzman, Ph.D.
