The University of Montevallo’s Vision Statement:

For undergraduates, our vision is to offer academically capable students from all sociodemographic backgrounds an affordable, life-enriching "honors college" experience stressing community service and global awareness, all within an atmosphere of national historic beauty and a tradition of innovative cultural expression. Our vision for graduate students builds on this undergraduate foundation, using traditional and innovative instructional methods to foster growth in specialized skills and knowledge required by practicing educators, counselors, speech-language clinicians, scholars in the humanities, and other professional leaders, within a nurturing environment steeped in the unique "Montevallo experience."

-- adopted by the Board of Trustees, November 2, 2007

Richie Thayer first came to the University of Montevallo in 2010 as a substitute for a former law partner who taught business law as an adjunct instructor. What began as a temporary opportunity soon sparked a passion for teaching, mentoring and building genuine connections with students.

In addition to teaching business law and directing the Grainger Center for Professional Development in the Stephens College of Business, Thayer is always available to advise or just listen to students that find themselves facing struggles in college.

"I hope my students remember that: 1) I genuinely care about them; 2) I will continue to support them in their future endeavors; and 3) they must always think and speak for themselves while remaining kind and respectful to those with different views," Thayer said.
