Collection Information

Historical Sketch       Troy State University Dothan began in 1951 when Troy State College began offering courses at Ft. Rucker.  In 1961 that became a residential and "course completion" site, meaning students did not have to attend any classes at Troy's main campus to finish their Bachelor's degrees.  Outgrowing that facility in 1974, the campus moved to space at Wallace Community College then to the Houston Hotel in 1975.  In 1977 the school bought the Houston Hotel, and in 1990 moved to the Troy State University Dothan Campus on US 231.

In 1978 TSU president Ralph Adams instructed the Dothan and Montgomery branch campuses to seek separate accreditation from SACS.  To do so required the Dothan campus to expand its course offerings and physical plant.  It did so under Robert M. Paul and achieved accreditation in 1985.  TSUD retained its distinct status within the TSU System until all campuses were reincorporated as branches of the newly-renamed Troy University on August 1, 2005.

Dr. Michael Malone was president of TSUD, 1996-2003.  He oversaw the building of the Library-Technology Building (opened in 2002) and the establishment of the Archives of Wiregrass History and Culture (also opened in 2002).  He became a Vice-Chancellor within the Troy University System, then became head of Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE), 2003-2006.

When TSUD was merged into Troy University in 2005, the Office of the President was replaced by a Campus Vice Chancellor.  Mr. Bob Willis held the interim position 2005-November 2007.  Dr. Don Jeffery became Campus Vice Chancellor in November 2007.

Presidents of TSUD:

·        Thomas Harrison, 1985--1995

·        Doug Patterson (interim), 1995--1996

·        Michael Malone, 1996--2002

·        Barbara Alford, 2002--2005

Scope/Content Note:  These records document the establishment of the separately-accredited campus of the Troy State University System at Dothan, the perambulations of the campus physical plant from Ft. Rucker to Wallace Community College to Downtown Dothan to the northwest Dothan campus, and the establishment of a functioning college.
