JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

Jackson State University College of Business Dean Dr. Glenda Glover has been recommended by the Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor to be the next president at Tennessee State University.

The Board will meet via telephone November 27th to consider TBR Chancellor John Morgan's recommendation.

"Dr. Glover's outstanding credentials and leadership skills are impressive," said Morgan. "Her experience as a faculty member, campus administrator and an engaged member of the civic and business communities will serve TSU and the entire region well. She is an accomplished professional in many ways. But most of all, she is committed to the success of TSU's students, and I believe she will help the institution continue to grow and move forward on a path toward accomplishing its goals."

Glover would replace Portia Shields, who has served as interim president for the past two years.
