Chett Daniel unanimously chosen as Crowder College president
NEOSHO, Mo. — Crowder College has named a new President.
Crowder College Board of Trustees says they voted unanimously to appoint Dr. Chett Daniel as the tenth President of Crowder College. School officials say the announcement was made after their regular Board meeting today after meeting in a closed session.
'Normally the Board of Trustees would do a national search,' said Andy Wood, Board Chair. 'We would be looking for an individual first who is a servant leader. After the Board discussed the matter today, we unanimously agreed we already have that person at Crowder College, and that person is Dr. Daniel. He is a true servant leader. He practices servant leadership every day of every week. He is graduate of Crowder College. He knows Crowder College. He is dedicated to the principles of serving in a community college. He was already a leader for Crowder College in advocating for economic development and education for Southwest Missouri and the region. He has a background in education, business, and the military as a former Marine, and he will be a great president of Crowder College.'
Dr. Daniel began his education earning his associate degree from Crowder College in 1999.
'Crowder College changed the trajectory of my life when I attended here as a first-generation college student nearly 30 years ago,' stated Dr. Daniel. 'I am humbled and honored to have this opportunity to work alongside Crowder faculty and staff to serve the residents and communities of southwest Missouri.'
