Millsaps has recently promoted three senior administrators in the areas of academics, finance and campus services.

Former Vice President and Dean of the College, Dr. Richard Smith has been named Senior Vice President and Dean of the College. Smith completed his undergraduate degree at Whittier College in California and continued his education with graduate degrees from the University of Rochester in New York. Before coming to Millsaps in 1997, Smith served in academic administration at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania. Smith's new position will entail additional leadership responsibilities in implementing the strategic plan of the college.

Lou Burney, former Assistant Vice President for Business Affairs and Controller, has been named Vice President for Finance. Burney has provided leadership for the Millsaps financial team for 16 years. She earned her undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Mississippi and continued her education with a master's degree from Millsaps. In her new role, Burney will manage support staff working in accounting, payroll services, accounts payable and receivable, budget development and investment management.

Todd Rose, former Vice President and Dean of Students, will assume leadership as Vice President for Campus Services, a newly-created position at Millsaps. Rose completed his undergraduate degree at Southern Methodist University in Texas and continued his education with a master's degree from Baldwin-Wallace College in Ohio. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the administration of higher education at the University of Southern Mississippi. In his new role, Rose will provide leadership for the physical plant, the post office, human resources, food services, campus safety and the Millsaps bookstore.

"I believe these administrative decisions and promotions will help take Millsaps College to even higher rankings and more notable achievement," said Millsaps President Dr. Frances Lucas.
