John Deaver Drinko, the Marshall alumnus and

pleased" that Gould agreed to direct the Academy. "I have
known Alan for many years and I have a great respect for
both him and his academic background," Drinko said. " He is
an excellent choice. I am proud of the concept behind the
Drinko Academy, the fact it is being developed by Marshall
University and that Dr. Gould will be its director. It's a
great combination. |
