Wake Forest Career 1954-2003

Ed Christman’s career at Wake Forest reflected the genius of a person in exactly the right job. He had a breadth of responsibilities that drew out his gifts and passions.  He had the autonomy to find full expression of his creativity and leadership.  And he had the advantage of longevity: 49 years of service gave him the chance to plant and harvest the fruit of many initiatives, to work with generations of students, faculty, and administrators, and to advocate for the best spirit of Wake Forest during a succession of interesting times.

Ed held four different job titles over the years: Baptist Student Union Director, Baptist Campus Minister, Assistant Chaplain, and University Chaplain. Despite this stability, his work evolve seamlessly with increasing responsibilities. He always balanced the ability to serve the people of Wake Forest and the institution itself.
