KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI -- Craig Phelps, D.O., FAOASM, has been named the new President of A.T. Still University. The appointment was announced by Clyde Evans, Ph.D., chairman of the A.T. Still University of Health Sciences (ATSU) Board of Trustees.

Dr. Phelps, a 1984 graduate of ATSU’s Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCOM), became provost of the University’s Arizona campus in 1998, where he led the team that developed that campus and its three academic units: the Arizona School of Health Sciences, the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health, and the School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (joining KCOM and the School of Health Management on the Kirksville, Mo., campus). In 2010 Dr. Phelps became the University’s first executive vice president for strategic initiatives; he has been working with Dr. Magruder and key ATSU leaders to develop the Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health, as well as other programs.

After a brief vacation, Dr. Phelps will visit both ATSU campuses in the next several weeks and meet with students, faculty, and staff as he begins the transition. He also plans to meet with alumni groups, community members, and friends of the University.

Dr. Phelps will take over as President on July 1, 2012 following the retirement of current President Dr. Jack Magruder.
