On behalf of the Board of Governors of Ambrose University, we are pleased to bring you the following announcement:

After a rigorous presidential search, the Search Committee was pleased to advance a candidate to the Board of Governors for their consideration on December 19th, 2023. The Board of Governors has unanimously endorsed the committee’s candidate. We are delighted to present:

Rev. Dr. Bryce Ashlin-Mayo

as the new President of Ambrose. Rev. Dr. Ashlin-Mayo will begin his new position on May 6, 2024.  This will allow him time to complete his portfolio as Dean of Theology and fully acclimate in his new role as President, Ambrose University.

We are grateful to Rev. Dr. Gordon T Smith for his commitment and passion over the last twelve years. We also appreciate his engagement in this time of transition. The Ambrose Board of Governors was witness to God’s hand in this entire process. A hearty welcome to Bryce and Laurie as they embrace this new opportunity. We look forward to serving the mission of Ambrose University together.
