乔·比尔·斯隆, 1967年卡森-纽曼校友, is a 2023 inductee to the Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA) Hall of Fame. The organization announced that he is one of 24 inductees, 每个代表TICUA成员机构.
“随着TICUA名人堂的每一届新成员, we discover even more of our alumni changing the world, some whose names we know and others we are just now becoming familiar with,TICUA主席Dr. 克劳德Pressnell. “Each of the inductees demonstrates how valuable one’s college experience is to your life and the impact a liberal arts education has on molding your future.”
作为1932年毕业的卡森-纽曼的儿子, Sloan was deeply intertwined with the University while growing up. 他的父亲, 阿尔伯特·斯隆, served as a professor of mathematics and chief financial officer for 40 years, making Carson-Newman not only the backdrop of Sloan’s childhood but also a central aspect of his identity.
Attending elementary school on campus and working at a local drug store, Sloan developed a strong work ethic from an early age. He viewed these experiences not as work but as enjoyable and formative opportunities.
Carson-Newman played a significant role in Sloan’s life, 作为他的父亲, 妈妈。, 阿姨, 两个姐妹, 哥哥, and wife all earned their degrees at Mossy Creek. 在完成自己的学位后, Sloan joined C-N’s faculty ranks in the 历史 and Political Science Department. 在他的任期内, Sloan demonstrated excellence in every role he undertook, serving as chair and later as dean of the social sciences division.
Sloan actively contributed to the university for more than four decades. He was invited to join the senior staff as associate provost and later assumed the role of interim president during a challenging financial period and leadership transition.
尽管已过渡到管理角色, his passion for teaching remained as he continued to advise students on graduation requirements. Upon the selection of a new leader for the University the following year, 斯隆回到了他的真爱:教书.
Sloan’s commitment to excellence and his impact on the Carson-Newman community earned him several distinguished awards, 包括R.R. 特纳大学精神奖, 杰出教师奖, and the Outstanding Student Advisor Award (the only two-time recipient).
In 2022, the University honored Sloan as a member of the inaugural class inducted into the Robert Reedy Bryan Society for his exceptional and meritorious service to Carson-Newman University.
