Dr. Jackie Halstead: Honoring Her Departure

The annual MFT graduation banquet is the one night a year when students, faculty, staff, and friends gather to recognize graduating students and all those who help accomplish the great things happening in the program. This year’s banquet, held last Thursday, August 5, was bittersweet for the MFT family as they said goodbye to Department Chair, Dr. Jackie Halstead and honored her for her service and dedication to the program.

Dr. Halstead has been an important part of ACU’s MFT program serving as a professor for 12 years and as Department Chair for the last 5 years. She has mentored numerous graduates with wisdom and her distinctively calm spirit. Dr. Halstead and her family are moving to Nashville, Tennessee where she has taken a position as Associate Director and Associate Professor of Spiritual Formation at Lipscomb University’s Institute for Christian Spirituality. While we will miss them greatly, we wish the Halstead’s continued blessings as they move into a new chapter of life.
