After 33 Years at AAMU, Dean and 1890 Research Director Lloyd Walker to Retire

Dr. Lloyd Walker, who joined Alabama A&M University in 1992 as a poultry science researcher from Texas A&M, is retiring after more than three decades of service to the institution. His career unexpectedly shifted from research to teaching following the sudden death of a colleague, after which students asked him to become their instructor. Throughout his time at AAMU, Walker held numerous leadership positions including department chair, interim associate provost, and ultimately dean of the College of Agricultural, Life and Natural Sciences, while maintaining his focus on student success and mentorship.
