HAROLD E. NEWMAN Dr. Harold E. Newman became Shorter University’s 18th President on January 26, 2006. Along with an incredible vision for the institution which he serves, Dr. Newman has brought extensive knowledge of and a deep love for Shorter University to his presidency. Under the leadership of Dr. Newman, Shorter University continues to receive significant academic recognition. During the 2009-10 academic year, Shorter was ranked for the ninth consecutive year among the South’s best comprehensive colleges focusing on Bachelor’s degrees. Shorter was ranked for the fourth consecutive year as a “Best Southeastern College” and “Best Value College” by the Princeton Review. Shorter was one of 300 colleges nationwide selected for the Colleges of Distinction guidebook. Dr. Newman served the University as Provost for 20 years under the direction of four different presidents. He served as interim President from January 1, 2005 until his official promotion just over one year later. A classically trained musician, Dr. Newman holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Furman University, a Master of Church Music in Piano Performance from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Education from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. At Tennessee, Dr. Newman majored in curriculum and instruction with collaterals in Higher Education and Educational Administration and Supervision. Dr. Newman and his wife, Brenda, have two grown daughters: Cindy and Kathy. A Message From Shorter University President, Dr. Harold E. Newman: Shorter University is proud to be “A Christian University Committed to Excellence in Education.” Through our traditional programs in Rome and our adult degree classes in Atlanta and Rome, Shorter is a place where the mind and spirit intersect through intentional study and dialouge. Recent years have brought growing recognition for our successes as an educational institution. In 2009, for the ninth consecutive year, U.S. News and World Report ranked Shorter among the South’s top baccalaureate colleges. We are also part of the Princeton Review’s lists as a “Best Southeastern College” and a “Best Value College.” Our faculty, staff, administration, Board of Trustees and Board of Visitors are working hard to ensure that the University’s brightest days are ahead. I encourage you to become involved in Shorter University’s exciting future. Sincerely, Dr. Harold E. Newman, President 8 2010 SHORTER LADY HAWKS Volleyball Guide • GoShorterHawks.com Dr. Harold E.
