The Mitchell College of Business welcomes Marcelle Naman, PhD, as Assistant Professor in the Department of Management.


Naman is a graduate of the University of South Alabama with a Bachelor of Arts in tourism and commercial recreation with a minor in business administration as well as a Masters of Arts in public relations and communications. She received a PhD in global leadership with a specialization in organizational leadership from Troy University. Her dissertation focused on change management for Catholic pastors. 


Naman brings a rich background to the Mitchell College that includes thirty years as the Director of Development for St. Mary Parish in Mobile, Alabama, and as an adjunct professor at Spring Hill College since 2013. In addition to her experience in academics, she is a committed volunteer and leader for a number of area charitable organizations including Catholic Social Services, the McGill-Toolen Catholic High School St. Thecla Women’s Society Board, the Drug Education Council and Our Sisters Closet. 


Naman's extensive background in nonprofit management and development, where she gained a strong foundation in strategic communication, planning, fundraising, and recruitment, adds a vibrant new layer to the Mitchell College's faculty. Her industry and leadership experience will serve as a powerful resource for students, providing them with a real-world perspective and the skills they need to succeed in their future careers.
