At the Southwest Commission on Religious Studies reception on Saturday evening, 10 March, in Dallas, Jared Chatfield won one of two student paper awards.  It is worth $100 in books from Eisenbrauns.  I had been tipped off so I was next to Jared when the award was announced, and was the first to congratulate him.

He is doing well in the Southwestern Seminary Ph. D. program in archaeology.  This summer he will be doing an archeological survey at Gezer under the direction of Eric Mitchell.

Jared received his Bachelor’s degree at Evangel and his M.A. degree here at Missouri State University in Religious Studies in May, 2010.
