UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION DR. ALAN MARBLE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Dr. Alan Marble was named the president of Missouri Southern on June 3, 2014 after serving the University for a year as the interim president. During his yearlong tenure as interim president, Marble led several positive advancements for the campus. Missouri Southern broke ground on a $14 million residence hall complex, made inroads on projects such as the new baseball stadium and end zone facility and announced an improved budget for the coming fiscal year that includes raises for all university employees. Marble worked to boost confidence among faculty and staff members and also welcomed previous university president Dr. Julio Leon back to campus for the announcement that the Health Sciences Building would be dedicated to him. Before coming to Missouri Southern, Marble had retired from Crowder College after serving the school for 27 years, including seven as president. He had previously served as business manager and dean of development. Prior to his career in higher education, Marble owned and operated a testing and placement service that worked with many leading insurance companies nationwide to assist injured claimants in their efforts to become retrained and employable. He sold the company in 1986 to begin his career in higher education. Dr. Marble is an alumnus of Missouri Southern, earning a bachelor’s degree in 1979. He earned a master’s degree from Pittsburg State University in 1986, and his doctorate in higher education administration with an emphasis in finance from the University of Nebraska in 2006. In addition to numerous awards for his private industry work as well as his efforts in higher education, Dr. Marble was a founding member of the board of directors for the Missouri Energy Initiative, served on the Missouri Higher Education Performance Funding Task Force, was appointed by Governor Nixon to the Missouri Tax Credit Reform Commission and is a Paul Harris Fellow with Rotary International. mssulions.com missourisouthernlions @mososports 2014 Missouri Southern Football 67 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< MISSOURI SOUTHERN GOVERNORS, VICE PRESIDENTS & DEANS (STUDENT GOVERNOR NOT PICTURED) Rob Yust Vice President for Business Affairs Keith Hankins Governor, Clinton Rod Anderson Governor, Monett Bill Gipson Governor, Shell Nob Sherry Buchanan Governor, Joplin Glenn McCumber Vice Chair, Noel James Fleishaker Chair, Joplin Dr. Al Cade Interim Dean, School of Education Dr. Richard Miller Dean, School of Arts and Sciences Dr. Tia Strait Dean, School of Technology Tracy Combs Flanigan Governor, Carthage Dr. John Groesbeck Dean, School of Business Darren Fullerton Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Pat Lipira Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs JoAnn Graffam Vice President for Advancement Mark Lloyd Dean, Student Engagement and Retention Dr. Ron Mitchell Dean, Students
