Bob Terry, editor of The Alabama Baptist (TAB), has been named as one of the co-recipients of his alma mater’s Order of the Golden Arrow award.
A 1965 graduate of Mississippi College in Clinton, Terry will receive the award at the university’s homecoming dinner Oct. 20.
The Order of the Golden Arrow is a prestigious honor from the Mississippi College Alumni Association, according to a university press release. The award goes to graduates or friends of the Baptist-affiliated university for their exceptional performance as professionals, and high achievers are recognized for showing career leadership beyond the ordinary.
Terry has been at the helm of TAB since 1995, leading the Christian newspaper to be named among America’s top regional Christian newspapers 11 times over the past 20 years. Prior to TAB, Terry served as editor of the Missouri state Baptist paper Word & Way for 20 years.
Terry owes a debt of gratitude to his alma mater, saying it was at Mississippi College that he discovered faculty, staff and administrators who “encouraged me, believed in me and became lifelong friends,” he said. Those undergraduate years were “a life-transforming experience.” (TAB)
