Dr. Randy Davenport featured speaker, CU Heritage Day Click on headline for complete story plus photo(s) By Joan C. McKinney and Christina Miller News from Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Dr. W.R. "Randy" Davenport, president emeritus at Campbellsville University, will be the chapel speaker at CU's Heritage Day Wednesday, March 3, 2010, at 10amET/9amCT at Ransdell Chapel, 401 N. Hoskins Ave., Campbellsville, KY. The public is invited. Davenport, who served as president of Campbellsville College from 1969 to 1988, will discuss the sacrifices made resulting in the institution's ability to move forward during the annual Heritage Day presentation. "Heritage Day gives us an opportunity to remember these events and also share the story with our present students and community," Tim Hooper, coordinator of distance learning and electronic resources librarian, said. Hooper is coordinating the Heritage Day chapel program. Davenport retired from Campbellsville College in 1988 after 19 years as college president and 40 years as an educator. The years Davenport was president was a "turbulent time" for our nation, and our institution as well, Hooper said. "Dr. Davenport played a crucial role in serving Campbellsville College during that difficult period and can be credited as providing sound leadership and vision in what many considered to be a time in which Campbellsville College might cease to exist," Hooper said.

He was formerly a high school principal and teacher of science and mathematics. Davenport received a bachelor of arts in chemistry from the University of Louisville in 1947, a master of science in science education and administration from the University of Arkansas in 1950 and a doctor of education in educational administration from the University of Arkansas in 1955.

He serves as a consultant for the Gideons International Headquarters Development Department in estate planning. He is also church ministry coordinator for the Kentucky State Cabinet. Davenport formerly served as international president, vice president, chaplain, trustee of USA Zone 6, Kentucky and Michigan state president, Indiana vice president and various other offices. He has also served for various convention and conference planning committees. Davenport has served in several international ministry assignments in several countries.
