HOLLY SPRINGS — Rust College welcomes Dr. James Bell as H. F. McCarty Family Endowed Chair and Special Assi s t a n t to the Vice P r e s i dent for Academic Affairs.
Bell, a 1964 graduate of Rust College, will serve as the H.F. McCarty Family Endowed Chair in Business, as well as the special assistant to the vice president for academic affairs for program development.
Bell earned a degree from Rust College in Social Science and Economics.
He moved forward to graduate studies at Atlanta University in Economics, and to additional graduate studies at Georgia State University in Public Administration.
Bell used these courses as foundation for a Ph.D. from Michigan State University.
His most recent work assignment was professor and department chairman in the Business Administration Department at Harris-Stowe State College in St. Louis.
The H.F. McCarty Family Chair is a symbol of honor.
It is the story of four children, Marsha, Katherine, Patti and John, and their love and appreciation of their parents, Mary Ann and H.F. McCarty.
It is the story of a family’s love of the United Methodist Church and higher education.
It has been proven that the McCarty Family lives the Methodist philosophy to “give as much as you can.”
