New Bookstore Manager Hired

The Truman Bookstore has a new manager at the head of its operations.

Steve Pennington took over the position in mid-February. Pennington and his wife graduated from Truman in 1989.

Steve Pennington worked in management at Wal-Mart for 15 years before returning to the University. He moved to Kirksville six years ago.

Pennington said he is excited about joining the Truman community.

“I am committed to providing you with excellent service and operating the store as an integral part of the University and its mission,” he said.
