The Imogene Bradley Ahles Chair of Excellence in Business Administration and Economics

Established by the former Secretary-Treasurer of the Board of Trust Rodney V. Ahles (LL.B 1958) in memory of his late wife. The Chair honors the relationship Mrs. Ahles had with Cumberland University over a nearly fifty-year period until her death in 1993. Mrs. Ahles earned the Bachelor of Arts degree from Cumberland University in 1946 and served in many administrative and teaching roles in the University, including Secretary to the Business Executive, Registrar, member of the faculty, Executive Assistant to six Presidents, and Executive Assistant to the Board of Trust. The Chair supports faculty development in the University’s Master of Business Administration degree program.
