This Week's Speaker
Dr. Kathryn McClymond, President, Oglethorpe University

Join us this Friday at the Embassy Suites to welcome Dr. Kathryn McClymond, President of Oglethorpe University. Dr. McClymond was appointed as the 18th President at Oglethorpe University in November 2023 and is the university’s first female president. She previously served as Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Oglethorpe University as well as Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs in the College of Arts at Georgia State University.

Dr. McClymond is a scholar of comparative religions. Her most recent publication, Humanistic Perspectives on Moral Injury, is a co-edited volume exploring how humanities disciplines contribute to research on moral injury (Routledge 2024). She has authored Beyond Sacred Violence (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008) and Ritual Gone Wrong: What We Learn from Ritual Disruption (Oxford University Press, 2016), as well as numerous articles and chapters on religion, sacrifice, and violence. She has served on the Board of Directors for the American Academy of Religion and the American Society of the Study of Religion, and she currently sits on the Governance and Leadership Development Committee of the American Academy of Religion.

Oglethorpe University has long been the home of our GRSP students, and over the last five years, we have partnered with the university to select a student directly from university applicants.
