Sorrell College of Business
Meet the Dean
Donald Hines, Ph.D.
Statement from the Dean
First of all, I appreciate the opportunity to again serve Troy University and appreciate the support and confidence shown by Chancellor Hawkins and Executive Vice Chancellor Roach in making my appointment to this position. Also, I appreciate the opportunity to serve the broader community of students, alumni, faculty and businesses under the “One Great University” umbrella. I have for many years believed that the whole of Troy University has greatly exceeded the sum of the parts and I embrace this concept with great enthusiasm. My highest priority is to create an environment within the Sorrell College where all our parts, from Heidelberg, Germany to Sharjah, UAE to Troy, Alabama, and all places in between, feel an equal participant in what we do.
While we have created a structure to support our students, faculty and other constituencies, know that the Dean’s door is always open. Fortunately, I have inherited Dinah Livingston as an Administrative Assistant. She has served the Sorrell College for many years and you should also feel free to contact her.
Many of you I know from my pervious associations with Troy University and many I have yet to meet. I have provided a link below for you to explore that will allow us to get better acquainted. Also you need to know that occasionally the “cowboy” in me comes out and understand this is not my first rodeo.
Again, I look forward to our association.
Don C. Hines
