By: Donna Cope

Auburn University congratulated Quentin Riggins on his election as president pro tempore of the board of trustees Friday, June 9.

Riggins, who earned a bachelor’s degree from Auburn University in marketing and distributive education, is the first Black to serve in the role. The president pro tempore serves as president in the absence of the board’s official president, Gov. Kay Ivey. Riggins succeeds Bob Dumas, chairman of the board of directors at AuburnBank, who was president tempore for two years.

Riggins has been a member of Auburn’s board of trustees since 2017, providing leadership and governance to the university’s academic, administrative and athletic enterprises. He chairs the capital campaign of the University’s Office of Inclusion and Diversity.
