¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ

Todd Krulak has been named director of ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ’s University Fellows and Micah Fellows programs, effective April 1.

Krulak, who has served as an adjunct professor at ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ since 2014, has been an instructor in the University Fellows program since 2019.

Prior to joining the faculty at ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ, Krulak’s teaching experience included stops at DePauw University, Tulane University and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. As a scholar, he has published an extensive list of articles and presented numerous papers on ancient religion and philosophy. As a member of the Society of Biblical Literature, he is one of the founders of the Religion and Philosophy in Late Antiquity seminar. He also participates in the American Academy of Religion, the North American Patristics Society and the Society for Classical Studies, among others.

“Dr. Krulak brings an impressive record of academic leadership and personal commitment to ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ,” said J. Michael Hardin, ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ’s provost. “Our honors programs are an important part of our academic environment, and his experience will be a tremendous asset in ensuring the success of our fellows, successfully recruiting new fellows, and guiding the continued growth of these programs.”

¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ’s University Fellows program, which was established in 2008, is a highly competitive honors college experience. The program targets academically gifted high school students and offers an interdisciplinary core curriculum, international study in Italy and funding for academic enrichment.

The Micah Fellows program is the university’s four-year, service-oriented honors program. Through innovative course work, high-impact community development and service abroad, it provides an intentional university experience for students called to serve others.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead these programs,” said Krulak. “In my time teaching both University Fellows and Micah Fellows, I have been so impressed by the quality of the students and what they bring to ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ. These are deep thinkers and willing learners who are also incredibly kind, humble and intentional in their actions. I’m excited to continue the strong momentum of these programs and enhance their impact on our students, our campus and our community.”

Krulak earned a B.A. from the College of William and Mary, a M.A. from Wheaton College, and a M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. His daughter, Katie, is a senior at ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ and a current University Fellow; his son, Matthew, is a sophomore at ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ and a current Micah Fellow.
