“Rose brings a positive energy and a commitment to outstanding customer service in the Center for Faith and Life. In the coming weeks, we’re looking forward to our Luther community, both on and off campus, meeting and working with Rose. She’ll soon be a familiar face for Center Stage Series season subscribers and those attending Homecoming and Family Weekend,” Smith said. “We’re grateful to have Rose as a member of our team.”

Before joining Luther, Baldwin taught middle and high school choir at the Lovett School in Atlanta, Georgia. In this role, she worked to increase participation and retention in the choral program, increasing enrollment significantly and cultivating engagement within the school community. Under Baldwin’s direction, the choirs participated in adjudicated performances for the first time in more than a decade and consistently earned sweepstakes ratings throughout her time at Lovett.

Earlier in her career, Baldwin was associate director of choirs at Burnett Junior High School in Wylie, Texas, as part of a choral program serving more than 450 students. She also taught elementary music in Lindsay, Texas.

Baldwin graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in music education from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina.

Luther’s former assistant director for programming and outreach, Bradley Phillips, will retire at the end of August after 37 years of service.

Baldwin’s first day on campus was July 27.
