The Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System on Thursday named Dr. Ross C. Alexander as the new president of Texas A&M University-Texarkana.
Alexander most recently served as provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs at the University of North Alabama. Under his leadership, UNA established itself as the fastest-growing university in the state, with record retention and graduation rates. Alexander achieved the growth with a focus on online and adult education, global education and workforce development.
“Dr. Alexander brings the right mix of fire, compassion and experience. I believe he will do great things in Texarkana,” said John Sharp, Chancellor of The Texas A&M University System. “Dr. Alexander is just what Texas A&M University-Texarkana needs to continue to grow and serve East Texas.”
