Abstract
Dr. Donald Newton Dedmon (1972-1994), a Missouri native, received his undergraduate degree from Southwestern Missouri State College, and later received his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Iowa. He taught at both the high school and college levels before he moved into university administration at Colorado State University and Marshall University. Dr. Dedmon served as Marshall’s executive vice president and acting president before coming to Radford University, where he was president for two decades. During his time at Radford, the university experienced unprecedented growth in campus size, curriculum, and student population. Dr. Dedmon was an ardent supporter of faculty teaching during an era where research was valued over classroom work. His collection in the archives includes his speeches and official papers, among other things.
