ACU names director of human resources For immediate release June 3, 1999 Suzanne Allmon, a '79 graduate of ACU, has been named director of human resources. Allmon worked at ACU from 1980-86 as administrative assistant to Dr. Gary McCaleb, vice president of ACU; director of research for the development office; and coordinator of student recruiting. Since that time, Allmon has worked as manager at Baylor University Medical Center Foundation, an administrator of retirement living at Asbury Methodist Village in Maryland and as vice-president of human resources for Sears Methodist Retirement System in Abilene. Allmon said she returned to ACU because "it was a great opportunity" and she "wanted to get back to ACU." Phil Schubert, director of financial operations and Allmon's superviseor, said Allmon is a tremendous asset because she brings experience and good resources through her position of president of the local Society of Human Resource Management. The human resource department is a service component of ACU designed to attain quality employees for the university and then to provide support for them while they are employed. In order to perform this second aspect better, Allmon will be conducting campus assessments in all areas of ACU. She will analyze the data to see what is and what is not working, then build strategies to improve the ACU work environment. Allmon is excited about her new position and feels much progress has already been made. "I enjoy working with the faculty and staff, and I look forward to the future," Allmon said. --30-- If you are a member of the media who would like more information about this release, please contact Tom Craig, director of media and community relations, at craigt@nicanor.acu.edu or call 915-674-2692.
