 Dorothy Boorse

Dear Ladies of CWIS,

The ASA Executive Council is very, very happy to announce that Dorothy Boorse has been invited, and has graciously accepted, to serve on the Council to fill the vacancy left by a recent resignation. Dorothy is Professor of Biology at Gordon College. She is a wetland ecologist, with an interest in salt marshes, vernal pools, and invasive species. She is also passionate about connecting science and faith communities, increasing the success of women and minorities in science, and supporting science literacy. She teaches, mentors students, communicates with Christians interested in environmental issues, does research with students, and has co-authored an environmental science textbook for undergraduates. She is contributing author in two recent publications of the National Association of Evangelicals: "Loving the Least of These—Addressing a Changing Environment” (2011) and “When God and Science Meet—Surprising Discoveries of Agreement” (2015) and  I’m sure I’ve missed some of her other accolades!

Dorothy has also been very active in ASA, contributing to God and Nature, attending and presenting at national ASA conferences, writing for the PSCF journal, serving on our development/membership committee and more. We are honored to have her serve with us. Please welcome her yourself by email to Dorothy.boorse@gordon.edu, and/or see her at the annual meeting at Azusa Pacific University next week!


Sincerely in Christ,

Lynn Billman
ASA Executive Council President

Dorothy Boorse on Interplay of Faith and Science

Posted By Alice C. Linsley, Monday, February 17, 2014

 Dr. Dorothy Boorse is a Christian woman in science (Gordon College) with a heart for mentoring. In this video she discusses how God has been leading her path from pre-med student to wetland ecologist, the dynamic interplay between faith and science, and the freedom afforded by the Christian liberal arts environment within the Gordon community. Her ability to provide this kind of wise insight to students as they grow in faith and academic understanding makes Dr. Boorse a memorable mentor at Gordon College.
