Board of Trustees chair, Ken McClain (’79) takes the leadership role of the university very seriously.  Ken and his wife, Cindy, recruits students, provides internship opportunities in their businesses, and as co-chair of the capital campaign, committed a leadership level gift to name the McClain Administrative Center Offices in the newly renovated Resch Science & Technology Hall. Ken and Cindy show their greatest confidence in Graceland by sending us what is most precious in their lives – their children. Thank you Ken and Cindy.
