ROLLTIDE.COM 1 On Your Campus... Alabama president dr. Stuart R. bell Dr. Stuart R. Bell became the 29th president of The University of Alabama on July 15, 2015. Founded in 1831, the University is the state’s flagship and a student-centered, comprehensive research university. Dr. Bell has broad administrative experience and is a nearly 30-year veteran of higher education. He previously served at UA for 16 years where he founded and directed an interdisciplinary research center. “I certainly look forward to leading this university as its next president and working alongside the many men and women who have made it a great university today and who will also make it a great university in the future,” Bell said on the day he was named UA president. “It’s just great to be here in Tuscaloosa, and it’s great to be in Alabama and to, once again, be able to say Roll Tide!” Immediately prior to becoming UA’s president, Dr. Bell was executive vice president and provost at Louisiana State University. During Dr. Bell’s tenure there and earlier at the University of Kansas, where he served as dean of its College of Engineering, those institutions opened new facilities, and student recruitment, retention and success were emphasized. First joining UA in 1986 as an assistant professor in the UA College of Engineering’s department of mechanical engineering, Dr. Bell was named department head nine years later. With research interest in combustion engines, Dr. Bell has expertise in alternative fuels for engines, innovative engine designs and modeling of engine and engine processes. He directed UA’s Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies. Dr. Bell was awarded the Society of Automotive Engineers’ Ralph Teetor Award for Outstanding Contributions to Research and Teaching in 1988. He was presented the T. Morris Hackney Faculty Leadership Award for the UA College of Engineering in 2001, and, in 2005, he received the Richard S. Woodbury Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. A native of Abilene, Texas, Dr. Bell earned a nuclear engineering degree from Texas A&M University in 1979. He earned his master’s and doctorate degrees in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M in 1981 and 1986, respectively. He and his wife, Susan, have three adult children, Stuart, Stacy and Stephen. 2 ALABAMA ROWING • Enrollment at The University of Alabama reached a record high of 37,100 for fall 2015.
