    Presidential Accomplishments President Quinton T. Ross Jr. September 2017 through September 2018 ASU President’s Report: September 2017-18 | 1 September 21, 2018 Greetings: In September of 2017, the members of the Alabama State University Board of Trustees selected me to serve as the 15th President of this great institution. Since taking office on October 3, 2017, I have literally hit the ground running. The “roller skates” that I donned on the first day are still a part of my wardrobe every day as I work on behalf of ASU. For nearly a year, we have experienced a number of great triumphs and successes, many of which are documented in this report. I have crisscrossed the country proudly hailing the name O’ Mother Dear, engaging and re-engaging alumni, helping to develop new partnerships, speaking to large and more intimate audiences about the many and wonderful things that are happening at Alabama State University. While the positives have far outweighed the “negatives,” we have had our challenges; but we have faced each one with determination, strength of will, transparency and a strong belief in Alabama State University’s ability to triumph over any adversity. I have been able to forge a team of leaders who have accepted every challenge head on and who have taken on the vision of greatness for Alabama State University. The President’s Cabinet meets weekly to discuss the vision and to ensure that we are “staying the course” in every area of the University, from academics to business and finance, to athletics, advancement, security, technology, student success, facilities and beyond.

  • Early on the Morning After Leading LSU to the 2007 BCS National Championship, Coach Les Miles Spoke Passionately About the Unique Nature of the Fighting Tigers
    Early on the morning after leading LSU to the 2007 BCS National Championship, coach Les Miles spoke passionately about the unique nature of the Fighting Tigers. "They understand what being pinned down means," said Miles, who saw his team on four occasions erase fourth-quarter deficits to earn victories during its 12-2 season. "They understand what it takes to come back and fight and overcome hurdles.” When top-ranked LSU lost its ’07 regular-season finale to Arkansas, it appeared the Tigers’ chances for a national title had been extinguished. Though disappointed, LSU quickly turned its attention to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, where the Tigers – playing without starting quarterback Matt Flynn and suffering from a rash of injuries – overcame a fourth-quarter Tennessee lead to post a 21-14 victory over the Vols. Ecstatic about winning LSU’s third conference title this decade, yet frustrated about apparently falling short of a BCS title game berth, the Tigers flew home to Baton Rouge expecting to receive a Sugar Bowl invitation. However, losses that evening by Missouri and West Virginia gave LSU – which ascended to No. 2 in the BCS rankings – the cherished opportunity to meet No. 1 Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game. Before a raucous crowd of 79,651 in the Louisiana Superdome, the Tigers overcame an early 10-0 Ohio State lead with a 31-0 barrage in a 24-minute stretch to storm past the Buckeyes, 38-24. LSU, which had won its first BCS title in 2003, became the first two-time national champion in the 10-season BCS era.
