Clayton State University President Dr.
Thomas Hynes is delighted to announce
the appointment of Timothy Duncan as
director of athletics at Clayton State. Most
recently, Duncan served as director of ath-
letics at Paine College in Augusta, Ga.
Under his leadership, nearly 40 percent of
Paine student-athletes earned a 3.0 grade
point average or higher.
Prior to his appointment at Paine College,
Duncan served as the associate athletics
director, major gifts at University of North Carolina
Wilmington. He got his start as an athletic administrator at his
alma mater, the University of Memphis, as the director of the M
Club.
Duncan earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business
Administration at Memphis in 1992 and completed his Master
of Science Degree in Sports Administration at Grambling State
in 1997.
Duncan played four years on the Memphis men’s basketball
team and helped the Tigers and former coach Larry Finch reach
the NCAA’s Elite Eight during his senior year in 1992.
Duncan is married to the former Lisa Farris and they have three
children, Tyson, Turner and Tatum. He also has two adult chil-
dren, Lisa and Torin, who both reside in Atlanta.
Clayton State University has been blessed with outstanding
Athletic Department leadership, most recently the work of
Acting Athletic Director Gareth O’Sullivan.
“We are fortunate to have Mr. Tim Duncan join our University
leadership team,” notes President Hynes. “Mr. Duncan brings a
combination of experiences that will support our long-term
commitment to academic success for student-athletes as a part
of a tradition of athletic success, including nationally competi-
tive teams.”
Stephen Jenkins Appointed
Director of Undergraduate
Recruitment & Admissions
Clayton State University Associate Vice
President for Enrollment Management &
Academic Success Dr. Mark F. Daddona
has announced the appointment of
Stephen Jenkins as Director of
Undergraduate Recruitment &Admissions
at Clayton State.
Jenkins comes to Clayton State from
Mercer University in Atlanta, where he
was Director of Admissions in the Office
of Enrollment Management for the
College of Continuing and Professional Studies, now Penfield
College of Mercer University.
"I am very excited to be here at Clayton State University,” he says.
“I am continually energized by the level of pride and campus spir-
it that resonates throughout this institution. I am delighted to be a
part of an institution that offers relevant and in-demand academic
programs designed to serve the needs of traditional freshmen stu-
dents, and non-traditional adult students, all on one campus. I was
attracted to Clayton State because it is a growing school with an
excellent reputation but still so much unrealized potential. This
school serves approximately 7,000 students, and has one of the
most diverse student bodies in the Southern United States, and I am
committed to help expose it to all of Georgia and beyond.”
Jenkins responsibilities at Clayton State will include coordinat-
ing, managing, and supervising all components of the Office of
Undergraduate Recruitment & Admissions as well as develop-
ing, updating and implementing the University’s annual strategic
recruitment and marketing plan in collaboration with other cam-
pus stakeholders. Said plan will include goals for expanding
market segments and new student bases for the University.
Jenkins will also identify annual recruitment targets for specific
populations, plan, develop, and implement recruitment strate-
gies, and represent the university to external agencies and insti-
tutions, prospective students and their parents, both on-campus
and in the community.
During his six years at Mercer, Jenkins also served as Director of
Recruitment for the School of Business and Economic and as an
Associate Director of Admissions and Marketing. Prior to com-
ing to Mercer, he served as the Associate Director of High School
Markets for American InterContinental University.
Jenkins holds a Masters of Business Administration with a con-
centration in Finance and Management from Mercer, and a
Bachelors of Arts in Business Administration with a concentra-
tion in Marketing from Morehouse College.
