The scholarship is named for Sarah Birmingham Drummond, current academic dean of Andover Newton, educator and researcher in ministerial leadership, and incoming chief executive of Andover Newton Seminary (July 1, 2019), the schools’ first woman leader.

Thanks to a generous gift from Connecticut United Church of Christ, which originated with Davida's mother, we are able to create a new scholarship in Davida's name.

In both celebration and great appreciation of his remarkable career at our beloved institution, Andover Newton Seminary at YDS (ANS) aims to honor Professor Heim by establishing the S. Mark Heim Endowed Scholarship.
