"Chad has done an outstanding job for this University, and I'm pleased that he will have a chance to expand his leadership role," said Mike Alden. "We conducted an extensive search to find the right person for this position, and Chad's name is the one to which we kept coming back. Mizzou alumni can be proud - he's a quality person who will represent this department and this University exceptionally well," he said.
