University of Montevallo President Stewart to speak at Chamber luncheon

Office Depot will sponsor the Chamber of Commerce’s luncheon and has invited Dr. John Stewart, the 15th president of the University of Montevallo, to be the speaker.

Since his arrival at UM in August 2010, Dr. Stewart has endeavored to raise awareness of the school through a variety of speaking engagements and a new branding and marketing campaign that saw its official launch in September 2011. On Founders’ Day in October 2011, the university celebrated the unveiling of the newly redesigned James R. Wilkinson Student Life Center. 

He has held leadership roles in a number of community and arts organizations, including the Small Business Development Committee, United Way, the Florida Ballet and the BankTrust Advisory Board.
