Dr. Robert Imhoff, Mid-Continent University President, is one of 7 Americans set to participate in the 39 chair Oxford Round Table.

Mayfield, KY - The President of Mid-Continent University has been invited to Oxford University, England to study at the prestigious Oxford Round Table.

The Invitation marks the second honor Dr. Robert Imhoff has received recently.  Imhoff received a personal invitation from Dr. Condolezza Rice, Secretary of State, to attend the World Education Summit held at the State Department in Washington, DC.  Dr. Rice invited one hundred U.S. university presidents and one hundred international university presidents from around the world to promote international partnerships and collaboration.  Dr. Imhoff was one of two presidents from Kentucky with Dr. Lee Todd, President of the University of Kentucky being the other Kentuckian in attendance.

Commenting on the Oxford invitation Dr. Imhoff said, “I am profoundly honored and humbled by this opportunity.  To have a chair at Oxford is almost beyond imagination for me. The doors of opportunity for Mid-Continent University could be substantial.”

Dr. Imhoff will be one of seven Americans to be seated at the 39 chair round table.  University Presidents from around the world will convene for one week exploring current ventures and future trends.  Previous Round Table results of specific deliberations have been published and distributed to individuals, governments and academic institutions around the world.

Dr. Imhoff is currently in his ninth year as President of Mid-Continent University where enrollment has grown from 169 in 1999 to nearly 1900 full-time students today.  However, President Imhoff takes little credit for Mid-Continent’s success stating “Its not difficult to succeed when surrounded by excellence.  My wife, Jackie, who is our Vice President of Adult Programs, has put together a great team whose passion is serving adults, and our Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Stephen Wilson, heads a faculty whose dedication and academic excellence are unprecedented.  Truly I am blessed to serve with such an outstanding group of dedicated Christian educators.”

Mid-Continent, a Baptist university, is headquartered in Mayfield, Kentucky and serves students from Rend Lake, Illinois to Lexington, Kentucky at more than thirty different sites. Mid-Continent University is a four-year institution accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
