He rose through the ranks, becoming president, chief operating officer and a member of the board of directors. Committed to Helping While healthcare leaders and customers know Smith for his business expertise, College of Education faculty and students know him for his selflessness. Smith and his wife, Cheryl, also a 1968 graduate of the college, have given back to their alma mater in numerous ways. Smith was among the original members of the college’s National Advisory Council, earned the college’s outstanding alumnus award in 1995 and served as the college’s inaugural Keystone Leader-in- Residence in 2003. He has been instrumental in supporting academic and scholastic achievement for students and faculty through his past efforts as chair of the college’s “It Begins at Auburn” Campaign Committee and his current work on the Auburn University Foundation Board. Dr. Frances Kochan, who came to know the Smiths during her time as dean, said he’s the ideal recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. “He’s a creative thinker,” Kochan said. “He’s a visionary leader, and he’s a person who gives generously of his time, his energy, his talents and his resources without any expectation of getting anything back.” Kochan is one of 14 current and former faculty members who have held the title of Wayne T. Smith distinguished professor.

More than 125 undergraduates have received the scholarship since its inception, including seven in 2010. “It’s made such a difference in who we are and how we’re perceived by others,” Kochan said of the professorships and scholarships. “His legacy is not only in the giving, but in the touching of lives with his scholarships and the opening of hearts and pocketbooks of other people who thought, ‘Well, I should do the same thing.’” ©2011, Harry Butler, Nashville 5 6 K e y s t o n e V o l u m e V I I , 2 010
