TCCs Stokes named Lyon College Distinguished Alumnus

Dr. Tim Stokes, Tacoma Community College Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, was honored last Friday as a Distinguished Alumnus of Lyon College.

Stokes graduated from Lyon, a small liberal arts college located 90 miles northeast of Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1992. The award was presented during the weekend homecoming celebrations, Oct. 21-23.

“I am honored that Lyon College chose to recognize me with a Distinguished Alum award,” said Stokes.

“Lyon is an outstanding liberal arts college tucked away in the Ozark Mountains. It’s known for its nationally recognized faculty, and for including students and faculty in key decisions. As a student at Lyon, I served on numerous accreditation and presidential appointed committees. It’s where my passion for higher education was sparked.”
