WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT MAHONY:


“The Board of Trustees was very impressed by Dr. Mahony’s academic background and his strong record as a leader in higher education. His accounting background gives him a business-like management approach. He shares Winthrop’s commitment to access and quality, and he possesses the talent, experience and temperament we need to move Winthrop forward.”


Kathy Bigham ‘73 Chair, Winthrop University Board of Trustees Co-chair, President Search Committee


“One of Dan’s greatest strengths is his decency as a person. He’s so good with people; he’s compassionate, kind and caring. He was the ‘Big Man on Campus’ in high school. He was captain of the football team and valedictorian. But the best thing about him is he would go and sit with kids that weren’t as popular at lunch, and I think that speaks to who Dan is as a person.” Laura Mahony


First Lady of Winthrop


“Dan is truly one of the most exceptional human beings I have encountered, and I know Winthrop will benefit tremendously from his leadership. Last year, I nominated Dan for the McInness/Ryan Award for Mid- Career Higher Education Leadership. Dan was nominated for the award based on his


administrative excellence across a number of different roles.” Damon P.S. Andrew


Dean, College of Human Sciences & Education


Louisiana State University


“Dan Mahony is one of the most genuine, honest, smart and hard-working people I know. He is a visionary who will listen to others. He’s serious about his work, yet has a great sense of humor. In Dan Mahony, you have a president who will not only match the excellence you’ve built, but will double-down on bringing forth new opportunities that will cultivate Winthrop’s reputation even further. As a two-time Winthrop alumna, I can think of no one else I’d rather have at the helm of my great alma mater. I am delighted for you—for us—that Dan Mahony will be taking Winthrop University to new heights.“


Melody Tankersley ’84, ’86 Senior Associate Provost and Interim Dean of Graduate Studies Kent State University


“While we will miss him dearly, we know he is going on to do great work at the university that is wise enough to select him as their next president.”


Beverly Warren President
