Hank Dixon

Adjunct Faculty

Dr. Dixon teaches courses in chaplaincy. He brings insights and wisdom gained over many years of correctional experience to the teach on the challenging, complex, multifaith, multi-disciplinary team environments chaplains work in. A guiding principle for his work is a quote by an unknown author, “Those who bear the mark of pain are never really free. They owe a debt to the ones who still suffer. This is your beginning…”
