Ray Lutgring named VP for Academic Affairs at Lindsey Wilson

By Venus Popplewell
LWC Director of Public Relations

Veteran educator Ray Lutgring has been named vice president for academic affairs of Lindsey Wilson College.

Lutgring, who has nearly 30 years of higher-education experience, comes to Lindsey Wilson from the University of (Indiana) Evansville, where he was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for the last ten years.

"Dr. Lutgring is exactly the right person to lead the college through the exciting years on the horizon," said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. "He inherits an incredibly talented faculty who love our students and our mission."

Lutgring was selected to lead LWC's academic programs following a national search to replace outgoing Vice President for Academic Affairs Patricia Parrish, who oversaw the College's academic programs for the last six years.
