She brings more than six years of fundraising experience to her new role, having most recently served as director of development for It Is Written, a faith-based media ministry headquartered in Ooltewah. Additionally, Hostetler holds a master’s degree in entrepreneurship from the University of Florida.

“I’m thrilled that Ellen will be heading up our Advancement team and serving as an important member of Southern’s administration,” Southern Adventist President Ken Shaw said. “As I have gotten to know her, I am impressed with Ellen’s passion and enthusiasm for growing the philanthropic support for Southern, building and nurturing strong and lasting relationships with our alumni and friends, and maximizing the potential of each member of the Advancement team.”
