Nashville, Tennessee, October 2, 2002—Chancellor Charles Manning of the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) nominated and the Board of Regents approved Dr. Arthur L. Walker, Jr., as the next president of Motlow State Community College. Walker, who holds a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Memphis, has been the vice president for academic affairs at Motlow since February 2000. Prior to that, he directed the Fayetteville Center of Motlow State Community College and was an instructor in psychology. Walker is a retired United States Air Force officer who served from 1962-1988.
| Manning said, “We are very pleased that we found the best candidate for the Motlow presidency right there on the campus. Dr. Walker has strong support among students, faculty, administrators and the community, as well as in the presidential search advisory committee. We expect him to be a worthy successor to Dr. Frank Glass. I particularly want to thank the members of the search committee, ably chaired by Regent Stanley Rogers, for their hard work and thoughtful consideration of the needs of the college.” |
