In 2021, Rev. Susan Blanchard accepted the call to become the first Director of the Baptist House of Studies at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond. In this role, Susan supports students as they navigate campus life, pursue a Concentration in Baptist Studies, and engage in field placement in Baptist contexts.
Susan is an ordained Baptist minister who has long been called to minister to students in institutes of higher education. A significant part of her call has been to nurture students as they embrace their own calls to ministry.
Previously Susan served as registrar and director of financial aid, student services manager, and an adjunct faculty member at Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond. Prior to BTSR, she was Baptist campus minister at the University of Mary Washington.
