Dr. Tim Summerlin
President Emeritus
Schreiner University

Summerlin received his BA in English from Abilene Christian College, followed by degrees from Yale University including his MPh in English in 1971 and his PhD in English in 1973. For two decades, he served as a faculty member teaching courses in English composition, literary surveys, and upper level/graduate coursework in American literature, literary criticism and the Bible as literature. In addition, he has numerous publications including book chapters and critical reviews, articles and professional papers. After a quarter of a century in public higher education, he made a conscious decision to move to the independent college world, the world of his undergraduate education.
