Huntingdon College has announced six new members of its board of trustees elected to three-year terms.
The trustees, elected during the Huntingdon College Board of Trustees’ May meeting, include political, business and banking leaders in Alabama and Florida. Three of the newly appointed board members are Huntingdon alumni.
The new members of the private, Montgomery-based Methodist college’s board are Charles Carlton, Jakob Dwyer, John Mazyck, Stacia Robinson, Jess Skaggs and Pat Taylor White.
“One of the greatest assets of our college is a strong, dedicated board of trustees who believes in the unique mission of Huntingdon College,” Huntingdon President Anthony Leigh said.
“These new members of the board join me and the other members of the board in working to advance our student-centered culture, expand opportunities for our students, and steward the mission and future of Huntingdon College with vision, faithfulness and care,” Leigh said.

Carlton, an alumnus of Birmingham-Southern College and the University of Alabama School of Law, is a financial adviser with Gambrell Financial Advisors in Birmingham.
Mazyck is a Montgomery investment banker with Frazer Lanier and a graduate of Vanderbilt University and Auburn University. He has previously served as chairman of the Business Council of Alabama and its Montgomery Area Committee.
