About the Author
He came to George Fox from Southern Nazarene University (Ok) where he served as Provost. Dr. Allen had previously served as Provost at Point Loma Nazarene University (CA), Vice President for Academic Affairs at Anderson University (IN), and Dean of the School of Business and Lloyd Pickrell Distinguished Professor of Management at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. He also served earlier in his career as a Vice President of the Commerce Bank of Blue Hills in Kansas City, Missouri.
Dr. Allen earned the Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Olivet Nazarene University, a Master of Arts degree in liberal arts from Southern Methodist University, the Master of Science in management from Southern Nazarene University, and a Ph.D. in higher education from the University of Oklahoma, where he specialized in the history and philosophy of higher education, organization theory, and management history.
Known for his humor, quick wit, and storytelling, he speaks in churches, chapels, retreats, and banquet occasions. In his professional speaking and writing, he often addresses how faith and community can be developed and sustained, and how the traditional values of higher education can be nurtured in a Christian setting. He has traveled extensively, at times leading student trips - having taken over 25 student groups to Europe alone. He plays guitar and was at one time a member of a local bluegrass band in San Diego - the Loma Bottom Boys.
Patrick and his wife, Lori, reside in Newberg, Oregon, and fellowship among the Quakers.
