Faculty receiving tenure were Dr. David Byrd, Professor of Mathematics; Melissa Harrell, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice; Tammy Hinson, Assistant Professor of Humanities; Sheila McLendon, Assistant Professor of Vocational Math; and Frederick Shorter, Assistant Professor of English, Speech & Music.
