Longtime Mathematics Professor Reties

Dr. Greg McClanahan, Coordinator of the Mathematics program, retired in May after 37 years of service to LaGrange College.

After teaching for nine years at a two-year institution, he came to LaGrange as an associate professor in 1988. During his tenure, Dr. McClanahan has served the college as professor, chair of the division of sciences, chair of the mathematics department, interim vice president for academic affairs, senior associate vice president for academic affairs and assistant chair of business and data science.

“During his 37 years on campus, Dr. McClanahan poured his heart into the success of his students,” said Dr. Brian Peterson, Vice President for Academic Affairs. “Beyond the institutional work he engaged in, he was a mentor to many faculty members and senior administrators. Over his career, he guided the college and shaped the educational ethos.”

Dr. McClanahan is a two-time recipient of the United Methodist General Board of Higher Education and Ministry Exemplary Teacher Award and the Vulcan Materials Company Teaching Excellence Award.
