We are pleased to present Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary President Danny Akin with the M.E. Dodd Denominational Service Award.

For 22 years, Akin has served as the sixth president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and is retiring at the end of July.

“Dr. Akin has given Southern Baptists decades of dedicated, faithful service through academic service, extensive preaching and writing and by his steady example as a husband and father,” said Ray Van Neste, Union’s vice president for university ministries.

Voted on by Union trustees, the Dodd Award is the highest denominational service award Union gives. It is given to a leader within the SBC who displays excellence and leadership in Southern Baptist life as well as friendship and commitment to Union.

Congratulations, Dr. Akin! Thank you for your service to Union and the SBC.

What a sweet way to wrap up week one! 🍦 Our Rising Seniors capped off their first week on campus with an ice cream social.

These outstanding high school students are spending the month of June at Union earning college credit, making memories and getting a real taste of life as a Bulldog. We're so glad you're here!
