CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Dr. Michael V. Carter, who is serving in his tenth year as president of Campbellsville University, will address the Campbellsville/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce at noon Tuesday, December 11, 2008.

The meeting will take place in the Banquet Hall (the old cafeteria) in the Student Union Building on the campus of Campbellsville University.




Carter has served as president of CU since 1999. He was provost and vice president for academic affairs, as well as professor of sociology, at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, TN, from 1985 until he became president of CU.

Under Carter's leadership, Campbellsville University has seen 17 consecutive semesters of record enrollment with 2,601 as fall 2008 enrollment.

Under Carter's leadership, CU has completed new additions to the Women's Residence Village, constructed the new E. Bruce Heilman Student Complex which includes the Winters Dining Hall and Davenport Student Commons, started a School of Nursing program and constructed a building for the school, constructed the Carver School of Social Work and Counseling classroom, the Ransdell Chapel and the Gosser Gymnasium.

A new School of Education building is under construction, and a new School of Business and Economics is in the planning phase.

He received his Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 1984.

Carter was recently named, as one of three presidents of Kentucky's private independent institutions, to Gov. Steve Beshear's President's Advisory Committee for a working group to study the cost of a college education.
