Dr. Glenn Dolence, a former longtime Vice President of Student Affairs at Missouri Southern State University, passed away on Friday, May 24.
“Dr. Dolence was the ultimate example of leadership and service to students,” said Dr. Alan Marble, president of Missouri Southern. “His lifelong support and enthusiasm for the Lion family will be missed.”
During his 27 years at Missouri Southern, Dolence served as dean of men, athletic director, dean of students and served as vice president for student services until his retirement in 1996. He is survived by his wife, Myrna, who he met at Southern where she was dean of women. She later became a counselor and founded the Student Success Center.
“Dr. Dolence was a vital part of Missouri Southern for decades,” said Darren Fullerton, vice president of student affairs. “His dedication and service impacted the lives of countless Missouri Southern students, faculty and staff members.”
