President Jerry Bawcom announced the appointment of O'Rear, who has served the university since 1988, most recently as vice president for external relations. Previous responsibilities included assistant baseball coach, associate director of advancement, director of development and associate vice president for enrollment management.
Under his fund-raising leadership, the university endowment has increased and several major capital projects have been completed, including the construction of the new Parker Academic Center, the Crusader SportsPlex and the Mayborn Campus Center.
“As president, I have increasingly recognized the significant demand that university growth has placed on my time,” Bawcom said. “With Randy handling day-to-day operations, I will be able to concentrate my efforts on the overall vision for and direction of the university.”
In his new role, O'Rear will be responsible for overseeing the business and finance, enrollment management, athletics, external relations and student life divisions.
O'Rear earned both his undergraduate and master's degrees from UMHB, and his doctor of education degree from Baylor University.
