Spotlight on Faculty Scholarship: Featured

This month we feature the works of our new Executive Vice-President of Academic Affairs, Dr. William L. Hathaway.

BIO

Dr. William Hathaway describes Regent as having provided the ideal setting for him to bring together several different strands of his life. At the completion of his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Bowling Green State University, while he did not know what shape his final career would take, he felt led by God to pursue multidisciplinary studies in psychology, philosophy and religion.

 

Not wanting a merely academic faith, Hathaway sought out various opportunities for being involved in ministry during these years, finding service as a youth minister, Christian educator and a founding leader in a college ministry. His clinical training was fleshed out during seven years as an Air Force psychologist. During his time in Germany, he supervised counseling interns for the University of Maryland Master's Program in Professional Counseling, as well as taught practicum and other counseling courses.

 

Hathaway left active duty to complete a post-doctoral fellowship in clinical child psychology with Russell Barkley at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center ADHD clinic, the leading research clinic for ADHD. Following his fellowship, Hathaway joined Regent in its new Christian psychology program. Since then, Hathaway has enjoyed the responsibility and privilege of training future psychologists and counselors, calling Regent the ideal community of Christian scholars in which he can continue to pursue his passion for lifelong learning and Christian service.

 

An accomplished administrator, Dr. Hathaway has served as dean of the School of Psychology & Counseling, interim dean of the College of Healthcare Sciences, and as a faculty member at Regent. He holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, M.A. in Clinical Psychology and an M.A. in Philosophy from Bowling Green State University, and a B.A. in Psychology/Philosophy of Religion from Taylor University. Dr. Hathaway is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and conducted his post-doctoral fellowship in clinical child psychology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

 

He has spoken at numerous national and international conferences, including the U.S. Department of Education Negotiated Rulemaking Sessions held in Washington, D.C. in 2019. Hathaway also serves on the editorial board for publications including Psychology of Religion & Spirituality, Spiritualty in Clinical Practice, and Journal of Mind & Behavior.
