Faculty and Staff: Highlights
Delia Nüesch-Olver
Seattle Pacific University faculty members share a vision of biblical reconciliation with the John Perkins Center at SPU. One such professor is Delia Nüesch-Olver, associate professor of global and urban ministry.
A faculty member since 1998, Nüesch-Olver was instrumental in establishing the Global and Urban Ministries (GUM) program in SPU's School of Theology.
Under Nüesch-Olver's leadership, GUM equips students — from all majors — to understand the theologically realities of the largely urban and multiethnic 21st century.
