Liberty University announced on Wednesday that the 70th U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been appointed as the Distinguished Chair of the Helms School of Government.
Pompeo will work to advance Liberty’s unique Christian mission from his leadership experience and expertise in public policy, international relations and national security. His new role officially began on September 1, but the public announcement came upon his return to Liberty’s Convocation stage and as a keynote speaker at Liberty’s third annual CEO Summit.
“Mike Pompeo has served our country with honor and distinction as a tank platoon leader during the Cold War, as a successful business leader, as a member of Congress, as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and as our 70th Secretary of State,” said Liberty President Dondi Costin. “More importantly, his faith in Jesus Christ and his love and devotion as a husband and father make him a true Champion for Christ and a role model for our students. We are proud to welcome Mike Pompeo to the Liberty University family as a distinguished chair for the Helms School of Government.”
