disseminate information about black life, history, and culture to the
global community.
During Marbury’s tenure at AAMU, he
developed a comprehensive strategic plan which simplified the overall
administrative structure, completed the renovation of several campus
structures, initiated an employee salary schedule, instituted the
University College concept, established two doctoral programs, erected
the cooperative extension building, and increased enrollment.
Prior to becoming AAMU president, he was
employed in administrative and faculty positions at Alabama State
University, Tuskegee University, and Stillman College.
Marbury holds a B.S. degree from AAMU, a
B.D. and M.A. from Oberlin College, a M.Div. from Vanderbilt University,
