BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Lee College Board of Directors is the legislative body of men who determine the school policy. These men have had to make many administrative decisions which have and will affect the lives of students here as well as those of prospective students. A list of the members of the Board of Directors of Lee College is a gathering of concerned and dedicated Christian gentlemen from all walks of life, who are brought together with one goal — the betterment of Lee College. On our Board, we are quite fortunate to have two state overseers: The Doctor Robert Fisher, Chairman, from Atlanta, Georgia, and New York ' s State Overseer, the Reverend Richard L. Tyler, Jr. from Manlius, New York. Other members include four pastors: Pastor Kenneth W. Adams from Norman, Oklahoma, Pastor Robert Daugherty from Baxley, Georgia, Pastor David Poitier from Leesburg, Florida and Pastor S. Lane Sargent from Middletown, Ohio. Lee ' s Board of Directors also consists of five very successful businessmen and one prominent attorney. They are Mr. H. Bernard Dixon, the recipient of The Annual President ' s Council Member of the Year Award given at this year ' s graduation. He is from Cleveland, Tennessee. Mr. Bill Higginbotham from Norman, Oklahoma, Mr. Arthur W. Hodge from Magee, Mississippi, Mr. Don Medlin from Caruthersville, Missouri and Attorney John B. White from West Palm Beach, Florida. Dr. Cecil B. Knight acts as liaison be- tween the Board of Directors and the Church of God Executive Committee. He serves the church as Third Assistant General Overseer. These men meet with Dr. Lamar Vest and the Administrative Council during the school year. Each member of the Board possesses a great deal of individual devotion to Lee College and its students. They want to insure the smooth operation of the college and they work behind the scenes to see that this is possible. The Reverend Doctor Robert Fisher, Chairman of the Board of Directors this year, has prayerfully and dutifully led these men to what has been one of the most successful and optimistic years in the history of this college. Our Board of Directors is always having to stay one step ahead of the crowd and planning for the future. They have done this with the utmost success and it is evident with the record they possess that they will continue to do so. Lee College owes a great debt of thanks to these men for their undying love and sacrificing devotion to us. We want to say a well-deserved thank you for the work that has been done and the love that has been shown. — Lori Jordan Robert Daugherty H. Bernard Dixon Kenneth Adams

ACADEMIC DEAN Dr. Laud O. Vaught serves as. Lee College ' s Dean of Academics. He plans the curriculum and oversees the faculty. He is a member of the Administrative and Aca- demic Councils. Dr. Vaught ' s first priority is to see that the students receive an education of high quality and he assures this by running special programs like tutoring and learning centers. Dr. Vaught received a B.A. and a M.A. at Concord College and Bob Jones University, a Litt.D. at Lee College and he holds a Ph.D. from the University of North LAUD VAUGHT Dakota. He attended Carnegie Mellon for post graduate studies. Dr. Vaught sees communication among administration and students as a weak area, we need a student area where everyone goes and will read notices put out by the adminis- tration. We need to improve what we have before we go any further. There is much respect for quality. There have been some changes Vaught views for the better, such as Campus Pastor, the new computer major and a stronger emphasis on summer school. One thing that pleases Dr. Vaught is the review of the faculty handbook. There will be several changes due to this review. Dr. Vaught saw this year as very optimistic. There is a commitment of Lee College to excellence; there is unity among faculty and students. Excellence is a goal for which we are achieving. i i ' . m - w ;,:, ASSOCIATE DEAN Dr. Ollie Lee, Associate Dean of Lee College, re- ceived an A.B. from Berea College and a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburg. His duties include registration, coordination of class sched- ules and room assignments, evaluating transcripts for transfer students in Continu- ing Education programs and the supervision of the process for graduation eligibility. Dr. Lee holds new responsibil- ities, as well, upon being named Director of Institutional Research and Planning. These responsibilities include long range planning of bud- gets and institutional needs, filing reports for SACS, Federal and State agencies and other college affiliations, personnel evaluation, determining methods and systems to provide for evaluation of federal and state grants, and strategy for institutional outcomes assessment. My main goal is seeing the needs of students met in the most effective way possible. Dr. Lee also stresses the fact that students should see his office as a service for them. Students should not be afraid to seek help. Our primary role is not supervisory, but service. Dr. Lee feels that this year was a preparation for many future things. We are having a good year. The campus is really moving forward! He also expressed that he feels a genuinely optimistic climate on campus, (there is) a real sense of progress and good spirit at all levels. OLLIE LEE
