A lifelong Troy native, Ross Jinright came to TROY A lifelong Troy native, Ross Jinright came to TROY on an academic scholarship and as a walk-on baseball player, beginning a journey that would lead to a successful career in accounting and continued service to his community. After being encouraged to pursue accounting by his advisor, Mr. Eugene Sherman, Ross earned his degree and joined Gibson & Carden, LLC, in 1991, where he went on to earn his CPA license. Today, he serves as Managing Partner and Director of Tax Services, marking 35 years with the firm. While at TROY, Ross was a member of Coach Chase Riddle’s 1987 National Championship baseball team and was named an Academic All-American in 1990. His time at TROY also connected him with mentors and professors who helped shape his professional path. Ross has continued to make an impact through past and present leadership with the Alabama Society of Certified Public Accountants, South-Central Society of CPAs, Troy Exchange Club, Troy Planning Commission and Troy Bank & Trust. From a TROY baseball standout to a respected leader in his profession and community, Ross’s career reflects the opportunities and lasting impact of a TROY education. #AllWaysReal #AlwaysTROY

Today, the quad was covered in American flags, eac Today, the quad was covered in American flags, each one representing an Alabama veteran whose life was lost to suicide. Through Operation We Remember, members of the Troy for Troops Center and ROTC cadets came together to honor these veterans and remember the lives represented by each flag. It’s a powerful reminder that every flag represents a person, a story and a sacrifice that deserves to be remembered. Today, and always, we remember.
