Lon Randall, Ph.D., Malone's eighth president, brought to the College a keen interest in both missions and higher education. Upon arriving at Malone in 1972, he had already held a variety of positions of leadership at a number of institutions of higher learning. In addition, he had become involved with the United States Mission of Thailand ten years earlier, planning and projecting the educational needs of that country. In 1980, he served as president of the Christian College Coalition. In 1981, he accepted the position of associate director of the Peace Corps, overseeing operations in Africa, North Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and Latin America. His presidency was identified by marked growth and development. The Randall Campus Center bears his name.
