Austin Ricketts brings his experience as an educator, chaplain, and youth
minister to the role of Officer of Recruitment and Alumni Relations for the
Templeton Honors College. After receiving his BA in Biblical Studies and
his MA in Religion, he served as Director of Youth and Young Adults at
First Presbyterian Church of Salem, NJ, and as chaplain to post-graduate

ministry, Austin folds his love of science, art, literature, and theology into
his passion for character development and spiritual formation. And he is
thrilled to promote the True, the Good, and the Beautiful through his work
with the Honors College. Austin is married to Catherine. They are parents
to their wonderful, young sons, Torrance and Oliver.
