Bobbie Knight
President of Miles College
In March, interim was removed from
Knight’s title and the school’s board
of trustees named her the college’s
15th president.
“When Bobbie gets engaged in
projects, she gets engaged,” said
Norm Davis, a retired financial
services executive who has known
Knight for 25 years.
“She’s just done everything right,”
he said about Knight’s new role as
college president. “She’s one of those
people that, when she sees something
where she can make a difference, she
is always willing to roll up her sleeves
and go to work.”
He recalls observing Knight on a
scalding summer afternoon, watching
practice for the Miles marching
band. “She is all over the campus,
engaging the kids. She is working
on strengthening the graduation
rate, recruiting students, building
relationships.”
Knight is a graduate of the University
of Alabama and the Birmingham
School of Law.
"The job before me
is clear ... to serve
the students of Miles
College by ensuring
they receive a quality
education, that they
are equipped with the
tools they need to be
successful here and in
the future."
