Michael Holmes to Head Harris-Stowe Presidential Search Committee
ST. LOUIS, MO (October 7, 2013) - Thelma V. Cook, chairwoman of the
Harris-Stowe State University Board of Regents, is pleased to announce
the Board's appointment of Michael Holmes, president of Rx Outreach, as
chair of the university's presidential search committee. The search
will begin in early November and conclude in the spring of 2014.
The search committee includes representation from Harris-Stowe students,
faculty, staff and alumni, in addition to prominent members of the St.
Louis community.
"This is an exciting time for the university," said Holmes. "It's an
opportunity to get a dynamic leader who can build upon the great
tradition of Harris-Stowe."
Well versed in the area of human resources, Holmes led the function at
Express Scripts and Edward Jones. He is a member of numerous
not-for-profit boards, including BJC Health Care, United Way, St. Louis
College of Pharmacy and Ascension Health Care. Holmes, who currently
leads a not-for-profit that provides affordable medication to low-income
individuals across America, is one of the founding members of the
Harris-Stowe African-American Business Leadership Council; the
Anheuser-Busch School of Business advisory board was created to support
HSSU.
"Michael Holmes has extensive experience in the area of HR," said
Chairwoman Cook. "He also has vast knowledge of both the St. Louis and
Harris-Stowe communities."
Constance G. Gully was appointed Harris-Stowe's interim president on
September 1, 2013.
Harris-Stowe State University, located in midtown St. Louis, is a
four-year institution that offers 15 degree programs in the areas of
Accounting, Business Administration, Biology, Criminal Justice, Early
Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Health Care Management,
