Point University announced today that Dr. Chantel Oney has been named the new vice president of advancement. Oney has served in various capacities at Baptist University of Florida since 2014 — most recently as vice president of development, strategic partnerships, and alumni relations, and as the dean of the Spangenberg School of Business.
“Chantel is a great fit for Point University,” said Dr. Stacy Bartlett. “She is a passionate person of faith who leads with humility and wisdom. She has a deep love for students and years of experience working in Christian higher education. I’m confident she will be vital in helping Point better fulfill our mission.”
Oney earned a bachelor’s degree in business leadership from Baptist University of Florida, along with a master of business administration and doctor of business administration from Saint Leo University. Her research interests are in the area of leadership, employee performance and workplace spirituality.
“I love Christian higher education, and I am looking forward to building on an 88-year legacy that points students to their purpose, inspiring them to be on mission with God, regardless of their vocation,” said Oney. “I am delighted to be a part of the Point family because I have the unique opportunity to make an impact in the lives of students who will in turn make a lasting impact in the world.”
Chantel and her husband James have been married for 22 years and reside in Fayetteville, Georgia, with their four sons, Caleb (18), Israel (16), Joel (8) and Timothy (6).
