(From Crowder College)Jane, MO – The legacy of James B. Tatum continues to thrive as his son, James P. Tatum, recently donated funds for a facility remodel and leadership training for McDonald County Leadership.
Tatum learned from a young age the value of servant leadership and investing in your community as his father set the example over many years ago. Now, Mr. Tatum’s legacy lives on as James P. provided funding to repurpose an area inside Tatum Hall, to office space in honor of his late mother, Kathryn G. Tatum Administrative Suite. The area provides office space for Crowder College’s thriving Practical Nursing program and student advisement.
In addition to the physical space, funds were used to provide a faculty member participation in the inaugural McDonald County Chamber of Commerce Leadership program.
“Growing up in McDonald County and attending Crowder College, I was inspired by the spirit and dedication to serve of that generation's local leaders,” stated James P. Tatum. “I am grateful that the McDonald County Chamber of Commerce created Leadership McDonald County to help lay the foundation for future leaders. Marla and I are thankful that we can assist Crowder College students in becoming part of the next generation of leaders.”
James P. Tatum is one of four children to James B. and Kathryn G. Tatum. James P. and his wife Marla have continued support of the college.
