The advisory committee for South Georgia Technical College’s Marketing Management program met recently to discuss the current state of the program and the industry as a whole. This committee assists South Georgia Tech faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the program. SGTC’s Marketing Management instructor, Mary Cross, presented the committee with updates and information about program changes, enrollment, community activities, and student news.
Members of the advisory committee provide information to SGTC faculty and staff about suggested improvements in curriculum, new training opportunities that are available in the marketing field, new technology, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation.
The advisory committee is a crucial link that provides an avenue for South Georgia Tech instructors to learn about changing conditions or technology in the workplace that can then be passed along to students, enabling them to be fully prepared upon graduation.
Members present at the advisory committee meeting were Jamie Jones, Belk Operations Manager, and Nicole Kirksey, City of Americus Tourism Director. Also representing SGTC were Dr. David Finley, Academic Dean; Katrice Martin, Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Grant Coordinator; and Alecia Pinckney, Administrative Assistant to the SGTC Vice President of Academic Affairs.
