Throughout his three decades at UTC, Dr. McMahon has served on fifteen different University-wide committees and governing bodies, and has been an integral part of the College’s growth and its partnerships with the Community.

Through his 32 years of service to the college and the university, Dr. McMahon is leaving behind an innumerable number of positive marks in the lives of thousands as a teacher, mentor, and friend, ensuring that his legacy at the college will continue to live on.
