We
HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT (RECTOR) AT THE UBL! Edwin Mora completed his 4-year term and we have asked Elisabeth Cook to lead us for the next 4 years. Elisabeth is a Presbyterian, born in Guatemala, daughter of an Argentine father and a North American mother. Her missionary family lived in various countries of Latin American.
Eli began her career as a student at the UBL many years ago. She worked as the administrator for several years, and then became a professor in the School of Biblical Sciences, where she was also the Director. She is finishing her doctorate with the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. Most recently she has been serving as the Academic Dean. We are delighted to have her as our new President.
After 26 years of service at UBL in various capacities as a Presbyterian Church (USA) Mission Co-Worker, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my service at UBL as Rector of the university. The increasing inequality and injustice in our world today, and the difficulties facing theological education in many regions, call UBL to strengthen its ties to churches and church-related institutions throughout the region as we seek to participate in the prophetic tasks of peacemaking, justice and social transformation. Elisabeth Cook
