Manor College in Jenkintown has announced that Dr. David C. Greenhalgh will serve as its Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs while it conducts a national search for a full time VPAA.

Dr. G., as he is affectionately known by his students and colleagues, was most recently the Interim Headmaster of Jackson Hole Classical Academy in Wyoming. Prior to that, Dr. G was the Director of the Ph.D. program in Organizational Leadership at Eastern University, where he retired and was awarded the distinguished status of Professor Emeritus in 2015.

Prior to starting and directing the Ph.D. program at Eastern, he was Dean of its College of Arts and Sciences.

Dr. G’s career began at the Rhode Island School for the Deaf, where he worked for a decade before being appointed founding Headmaster of West Bay Christian Academy in North Kingston, R.I. He has authored numerous academic book chapters and articles focused on areas of leadership, morality, strategic planning, education, and spirituality.

Dr. G has extensively presented, submitted papers, conducted workshops and has had many teaching engagements.

Dr. G was awarded his diploma in theology and Christian education from Emmaus Bible College in Iowa, his Bachelor of Arts in history and social science from Barrington College in Rhode Island; his first master’s degree in modern European history from Rhode Island College; his second master’s degree in educational administration from Rhode Island College; and his Ed.D. in educational leadership from Boston University.

“Dr. Greenhalgh is perfect for this job,” said Manor College President Jonathan Peri. “He is a superb fit because of his credentials and a lifetime of academic and leadership experience. His scholarship is second to none, and most suitably, Dr. G. is an all-around great guy who deeply and authentically cares about the world.

“He’s been to so many global locations to help start a new nonprofit or to help preach the gospel. He is everything it means to be a conscientious Christian.”
