The Inauguration of the 36^th President

Robert K. Glenn

INAUGURAL THEME

 

“Roots and Wings:  An Institution Rooted in a Historical

Foundation of Building Success Stories by Providing the

Wings to Discover New Horizons”

 

Roots signify Dr. Glenn’s family connection to

Athens State University – his roots on campus as

defined by his great-grandfather, Edgar M. Glenn, the 23^rd President of the Institution.

 

Wings exemplify Dr. Glenn and the Institution’s

focus on the future of Athens State University as a school with progressive goals, looking forward to continued successes.

 

The marriage of Roots and Wings aptly describes our confident hopes as we enter a new era at

Alabama’s oldest institution of higher learning.
