12 I have been privileged to know Dr. Wright as his pastor, professor, academic colleague, and as a member of his Board. Over these many years, every time I have been with him, he has honored his Lord with his every word and action. Dr. Wright's deep personal passion for Christ and His kingdom is unconditional, unflagging, and unfailing. The key to Dr. Adam C. Wright's remarkable success in leading DBU is the fact that he is truly a "man after God's own heart." To know him is to know his Lord. DR. JIM DENISON Founder and CEO, Denison Ministries, Dallas, Texas Member, DBU Board of Trustees During these past ten years, Dr. Wright's mark on the University has been significant. DBU has attained new heights and strengthened its position in a very difficult higher education environment. His leadership has made an enormous difference for the students, faculty, staff, and the entire DBU community. In every situation, he has given glory and credit to God and demonstrated the servant leadership that is lacking in our nation today. He has shown compassion and empathy to everyone he has engaged with on this journey. HON. THOMAS C. LEPPERT 58th Mayor of Dallas, Texas What has unfolded under Dr. Wright's leadership is nothing short of extraordinary. He has guided DBU into a season of strength, visibility, and influence that is widely recognized and deeply respected. He has faithfully carried the calling to lead a Christ-centered University that forms servant leaders for the world, while honoring and extending the legacy entrusted to him. He knows how to be a friend as well as a leader, and to be forever linked with DBU is a gift I hold with deep gratitude. SHIRLEY V. HOOGSTRA, J.D. President Emerita, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, Washington, D.C. Reflecting on the past decade under Dr. Adam C. Wright’s leadership, I am continually inspired by his unwavering commitment to thoughtful and prayerful decision-making. Dr. Adam C. Wright consistently seeks wisdom through prayer when faced with complex and consequential choices. It has been an honor to serve alongside a leader whose integrity, character, and dedication to prayer have shaped the DBU community in profound ways. DR. NORMA HEDIN Provost, Dallas Baptist University We love Adam deeply and are so very proud of him ... we always have been. He certainly inspires us, and no doubt, countless others as well. Adam, to borrow a phrase you often use, "May God bless you as you continue to inspire the lives you touch." WENDELL AND KIMM WRIGHT Parents of Dr. Adam C.
