Reveille 25 Honors Young Alumni College of Business alumni Chasten McCrary, Victor C. Warnsley, II and Feifei Zeng were honored among the 2023 recipients, shown here, of The Reveille 25 Award at a banquet in March. Launched in the fall of 2021, The Reveille 25 seeks to highlight the remarkable accomplishments of the University’s young alumni. The familiar name of the program derives from MSU’s former yearbook, The Reveille, which chronicled student life throughout the institution’s history, and it pays tribute to the University’s foundational military history.
Endowed Position Honors Mallory The College of Business is proud to announce the establishment of the Lewis F. Mallory, Jr. Banking Lecturer in Residence position in the Department of Finance and Economics. This endowed position was created to honor the legacy of the 1965 alumnus, who enjoyed a storied career in the banking industry in Mississippi and beyond. He served as CEO of Cadence Bank for 33 years and in 2008 was appointed as the representative for the Federal Reserve’s Eighth District to serve on the Federal Advisory Council. After retiring from Cadence in 2011, Mallory taught bank management to business students in the position that is now endowed in his honor. He made a difference in the lives of many before passing the torch to Frank Appleby. Appleby, who grew up in Mississippi, is the first to hold the Mallory title. He came to this role after over 35 years in the banking industry in Chicago, building a successful community bank that he eventually sold at full market value. Like Mallory, Appleby brings a wealth of practical experience to the classroom, preparing our students for careers in asset and liability management, investments, risk management, financial accounting, credit analysis and administration, lending, regulatory compliance and supervision and bank regulation and examination.
