In addition to teaching Spanish classes, she will be assisting in the ACA office. After graduation from GBS in 1970, Helen spent many years on various mission fields before returning to her alma mater to teach from 1981 to 1989. Since 1989 she has worked at Hobe Sound Bible College and for FEA Ministries, where she and her husband, Dr. Glen Reiff, served as missionary-educators until 2008. Helen replaces Arlette Makcen, who is entering nursing school.
Janna Hooker, College Instructor.
She will be teaching in the Teacher Education Division and will serve as the program coordinator for the elementary education track. In addition to a BA from GBS (2001), Janna received an MA in Teaching from Mt. Vernon Nazarene University. For the last seven years, she has taught in the Aldersgate Christian Academy.
Aaron Profitt, Director of Institutional Research.
Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chair of the General Studies Division, he will relinquish most of his teaching responsibilities in order to assume the position of Director of Institutional Research and also to begin his PhD program in Educational Studies at the University of Cincinnati. To make this possible, Justin Singleton will be moving from high-school English to teach in the college department.
Justin Singleton, College Instructor.
As noted above, he will teach college English classes. After receiving his BA degree from GBS in 2007, he taught one year in the high school department.
Steve Buckland, Admissions/Student One Stop.
Steve, a GBS alumnus, has served several months as Financial Aid Director, replacing Lisa Profitt, who had stepped aside to rear her son. He has now added Admissions/Student One Stop to his portfolio of responsibilities. Joel Hood had filled the latter position until his acceptance to the Cincinnati Police Academy.
Mandy Buckland, Executive Assistant.
Mandy, who has been functioning for several months in the President's Office, will be replacing Brenda Herring as the Executive Assistant to the President. Mandy is a 2003 GBS graduate (BA in Music Education). After graduation, she worked for GBS as the receptionist and as office manager of the Music Division.

Lisa (Burton) Robison, Office Administrator.
She will serve as office administrator for the Division of Music, replacing Jessica Smith, who is beginning a graduate degree in music education at Miami University. The fact that Lisa graduated valedictorian of the GBS class of 2002 in the Music Division positions her well to fulfill the duties of this new position. More recently, she has been teaching at Liberty Bible Academy, Cincinnati.
Korin Reiner, Administrative Assistant.
A 2007 graduate of God’s Bible School and College, she will serve as the Administrative Assistant for the Department of Advancement. Since her college graduation, Korin has been teaching at Emanuel Wesleyan Academy, Gratz, Pennsylvania.
