   As Admissions Coordinator, Taylor will be responsible for assisting prospective students with the admission and readmission process. She will provide information to prospective students about admissions document requirements, programs offered, testing requirements and more. She will also receive and enter applications into the student information system and counsel students on Compass scores and conduct placement exams for applicants for enrollment.

She will also plan and implement student recruitment activities and all other duties as assigned.

    “I am very grateful to Dr. Watford and South Georgia Technical College for this new opportunity,” said Taylor. “For ten years, teaching English at the college has been my passion, and I have loved every minute of it. I am excited for this new job opportunity because I am able to showcase some of my other skills while also being able to learn new skills. I am going to miss teaching my students in the area of English, but now in this position I will be able to help students in another capacity.”

South Georgia Technical College will post a job announcement for a new English Instructor for the Crisp County Center immediately.
