AsburyMobile: A new way of communication

Doug Penix, Executive Director of Information Technology



New leadership brings exciting times to Asbury Theological Seminary. Dr. Timothy C. Tennent, President, arrived on campus sporting an iPhone and asked “Why can’t the seminary have an app?” Information Technology was charged with the task, and the learning curve began. We felt it was important to develop it in-house due to the overwhelming amount of information needed but also because of our access to the seminary databases. Our goal is to keep a fresh application by consistently offering updates in an effort to add new content and features to the application over time. The application is part of a wider, ongoing communications effort to provide alumni, faculty, staff, students and others with the latest information about the seminary.
