Alphonso Maldon Jr. - After completing a distinguished 21-year military career in the U.S. Army, Maldon, the distinguished alumnus from the professional schools, has continued to affect world affairs by serving in key political positions. With a bachelor of arts degree (1972) in business administration from Florida A&M University, and a master of arts degree in human relations from OU (1975), Maldon's educational background provided a springboard for a unique and remarkable career. Holding posts that include serving as executive officer at the Armed Forces Staff College, admissions and public liaison officer at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point and finally, deputy director for Army Legislative Affairs to the U.S. House of Representatives, Maldon's military career alone is impressive. However, after leaving the service in 1993, he continued serving his country by accepting several presidential appointments, including deputy assistant to the president and director of the White House Military Office, where he managed and directed a staff of over 1,900 personnel, providing operational, logistical and state-of-the-art communication support to the president. He also served as deputy assistant to the president for Legislative Affairs and White House Congressional liaison to the U.S.Senate and House of Representatives, where he was directly responsible for legislative issues involving trade, defense, international affairs, intelligence, banking, and Veterns Affairs. In 1999, he was sworn in as assistant secretary of defense for Force Management Policy, the highest ranking African-American in the Department of Defense, where he was responsible for policies, plans and programs for military and civilian personnel management. Since February 2001, Maldon has served as executive vice president and executive director of Corporate Administrative Services for FleetBoston Financial Corp. Maldon's public presentation, scheduled for 2 p.m. in the Scholars Room, is titled "American's Faith in the Future."
