College of Coastal Georgia Foundation Annual Report

We are excited to share and celebrate our accomplishments throughout 2011. Your gifts in excess of $2.3 million to the College of Coastal Georgia Foundation have supported more than 300 student scholarships; funded faculty development programs; implemented a wide range of innovative cultural and artistic programming; further developed our intercollegiate athletic programs; and secured revenues to renovate and construct academic facilities.

The 2011-2012 academic year marks our campus-wide Year of Engagement. Together, we have actively engaged in reaching out to our alumni and friends as well as initiating an important planned giving program, The Legacy Project.

Teaching and learning remain the primary emphases of our campus and, as such, faculty and our students continue to be the principal foci. The year was marked by the continuation of a high level of activity in extracurricular and campus programs. The volume and creativity of student involvement in an array of community service venues are inspiring. Athletics at all levels - intercollegiate as well as intramural and club sports - witnessed unusual success with the introduction of women’s volleyball and basketball, women’s and men’s cross country, and All-American status for three of our golfers.

The complete renovation of Academic Commons North; the opening of the new Health and Science Building, the Campus Center, Lakeside Village, the tennis complex; and the groundbreaking for the Teacher Education and Learning Center are among the myriad of physical changes the campus experienced in 2011. Now we are truly a vibrant, dynamic residential campus – a significant transformation.

The incredible generosity of College family and friends made these activities possible. We are honored with the level of engagement evidenced by our community partners. The 2011 campaign has provided major impetus for further changes and greater possibilities. Across this campus one can see and feel the positive effects of the new and renovated facilities, new scholarship funds, and countless new program initiatives. While much has been accomplished, there is much yet to be done. We continue to rely on your generosity and collaboration to help us achieve “excellence without ego and access without apology.”

2011 marked the 50th anniversary of the chartering of the College by the University System of Georgia. The College of Coastal Georgia Foundation celebrated this benchmark with a series of signature events and initiatives to cultivate new donors, engage alumni, and promote public support – building for the next 50 years and beyond.

Foundation members believe higher education is a top priority for the economic and cultural viability of southeastern Georgia. The Foundation’s objective is to boost Coastal Georgia’s rapid transformation to a four-year baccalaureate institution and a residential campus, catalyzing significant, positive change in the community. Through the Foundation’s advocacy and sustained giving campaigns, trustees ensure a margin of excellence in key areas:

• Student housing and capital expansion;• Student scholarships;• Academic programming and faculty development;• Athletic programming and facilities; and• Campus programming and student life.During 2011 the Foundation established an alumni association, forged

new partnerships, set the foundation for the next phase of housing through the Chairmen’s Campaign, and developed more diversified giving options through The Legacy Project. They increased scholarship funding by almost 20%, nearly doubled funds allocated for faculty development, and increased resources for campus programming and student life by more than 33%. Scholarships now account for almost 40% of the Foundation’s annual budget.

The quality of our faculty, students and graduates will continue to rise as a result of these initiatives. Coastal Georgia is no longer just a stepping stone to somewhere else – it’s the solid foundation upon which our community is building.

College of Coastal Georgia Foundation Annual Report College of Coastal Georgia Foundation Annual Report

The College of Coastal Georgia is a four-year baccalaureate school in the University System of Georgia, providing an affordable education and signature service-learning

academic initiatives in the natural beauty and abundant sunshine of the Southeast coast. Coastal Georgia was named one of the nation’s best values in higher education, according to the U.S. Department of Education (July 2011), recognized among the top 10% of American public four-year colleges.

The College stresses experiential and service-learning with Bachelor’s degrees currently offered in biological sciences, business, health informatics, mathematics, nursing, psychology, and teacher education. The College has embarked on a strategic master plan that includes additional baccalaureate degrees, redesigned and enlarged academic facilities, expanded athletic programs, and campus student housing. The objective is to foster a vibrant, attractive campus community excelling in extra-curricular and co-curricular learning that will advance students’ professional development and personal experience.

The campus community is part of the larger community of Southeast Georgia. The College is committed to serving as an instrument of community engagement and a resource for economic and cultural development. Partnerships exist with institutions such as the Southeast Georgia Health System, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, the Southeast Georgia Joint Development Authorities, the Camden Partnership, the Brunswick-Glynn County Archway Partnership, the Glynn County School System, the Jekyll Island Authority, and a wide range of community service and arts organizations.

With a Fall 2011 enrollment of more than 3,400 students, the College of Coastal Georgia is developing lasting recognition as a respected destination for outstanding undergraduate education and as an invaluable community resource.

OUR VISIONThe College of Coastal

Georgia will be a college of

choice for students within

Georgia and beyond,

providing an outstanding

education for tomorrow’s

leaders and citizens

through service learning,

global awareness, and

engaged entrepreneurship.

Since its chartering in 1961, the College has been a commuter campus. The opening of Lakeside Village in August 2011 marked a significant change in the dynamics of student life and

campus activity. “This is just the beginning, not the end,” College President Dr.

Valerie A. Hepburn said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 29 for the first phase of Lakeside Village, a 350-bed student housing complex. The Chancellor of the University System of Georgia, local dignitaries, members of the Georgia General Assembly Delegation, and Chairman of the Board of Regents agreed that on-campus student housing would positively impact the economic development and character of the area.

In his remarks, University System Chancellor Henry M. Huckaby said that his research in the university system demonstrated that residential students are more involved on campus and have better grades. He also stressed the important role of the College Foundation, noting that the work of institutionally-related foundations is increasingly critical to all institutions in the state university system.

The day was capped by a fundraiser sponsored by the College Foundation and the construction firm of H.J. Russell & Company for planning of Phase II – the next student residence complex. Guest attire ranged from casual beach clothes to an elegant smoking jacket for the “pajama party” staged on the lawn of Lakeside Village as people toured the complex, danced to the music of Mason Waters and the Groove All Stars, and enjoyed an elegant cocktail buffet prepared and served by the Coastal Georgia Culinary Arts students. A bonus was

the grand opening and first movie showing in the 150-seat Kathrine Jenkins and John H. Stembler Theatre of the Campus Center.

Enrollment has grown by 40% to more than 3,400 students. Recognizing the important role of student housing for continued growth of the College, the Foundation made student housing and capital expansion the top fundraising priority in their strategic plan. With diminishing state resources and growing demand for higher education, private philanthropy is the primary avenue for ensuring a margin of excellence. The Chairmen’s Capital Campaign was launched in 2011 to secure initial funding for the second phase of on-campus housing. The campaign is partnering with 50 deeply committed, visionary donors who will contribute $10,000 each towards the College’s goal of providing on-campus housing for up to 20% of the students.

Center for Academic Success

The Center for Academic Success (CAS) provides intense support services for at-risk and first generation college students. The

objective of the Center for Academic Success is to promote improved passage of first-year classes, successful and timely progression, and graduation.

State funding and tuition do not viably support supplemental instruction at this level, but for these incoming students, supplemental instruction is critical for their success.

Coastal Georgia received a $100,000 grant to build capacity for CAS over the next two years.

Fat Daddy Rocks the King & Prince

Although attorney Bob Killian says Fat Daddy is not an “official” band, former school buddies Randy Jordan, Gordon Strother,

and Bruce Raines, plus friends and family, get together once a year or so to play the music that made them a fixture in the Golden Isles during the late eighties.

They returned in 2011 to rock the walls and halls at the King & Prince Resort with a benefit performance April 16 for the College Foundation, one of a series of events commemorating the 50th anniversary of the College.

Campus Center Dedicated

The new Campus Center was dedicated August 23, 2011. The 50,000 square-foot facility includes weekday food service

provided by Chartwells in the Mariners Galley, retail as well as textbooks and supplies in The Lighthouse Book Store operated by Nebraska Book Company, coffee shop, the Student Health Center, offices for Student Services, space for campus clubs and organizations, the state-of-the-art Kathrine Jenkins and John H. Stembler Theatre, and a light, bright and vibrant student lounge.

Southern Storytellers Series

In 2011, AT&T sponsored Southern Storytellers Dr. William Rawlings,

Jr., and Kate Campbell as part of a community cultural series hosted in the Terrill Thomas Auditorium by the College Foundation’s Special Events and Honors Committee.

A native of Sandersville, Georgia, where he is a practicing primary care physician, Dr. Rawlings has five published mysteries: The Mile High

Club, Crossword, The Tate Revenge,

The Rutherford Cypher (optioned for a movie), and The Lazard Legacy. Folksinger/songwriter Kate Campbell’s show, “Save the Day,”

featured songs from the 12 CDs she has recorded since her 1995 debut, “Songs from the Levee.” Her vocal range and consistency are frequently compared to Emmy Lou Harris, while her story telling is linked to the Southern literary tradition of Eudora Welty, William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor.

CALL Committee Initial Report

The College of Coastal Georgia Foundation convened an ad hoc Planning Committee for Cultural, Arts

and Lifelong Learning (CALL) Programs in January 2011 to inform the design process for the proposed Coastal Community Center for the Arts by determining what programs the community would support when the Center is not in use by the schools.

The committee, chaired by Foundation Trustee Anita Timmons and vice-chaired by Trustee Willou Smith, conducted a needs/demands analysis of potential new programming in arts and cultural affairs, including input from the public concerning types of programs that would be responsive to community interests. Core membership of the planning committee included representatives from the school system and arts and cultural organizations as well as the general community. The final report, detailing findings and recommendations, was approved by the committee in December.

Coastal Youth Symphony Collaboration

Excited student musicians converged on the campus in mid-July 2011 for the inaugural Coastal Youth Symphony Music Camp

held in College facilities. “We are honored and delighted that the College of Coastal Georgia is

hosting the Coastal Youth Symphony summer camp. This reaffirms the tremendous commitment of the College to the development of music and the arts in our community,” Maestro Luis Haza, Music Director and Conductor of the Coastal Youth Symphony, said. “Indeed, in this way we ensure that every aspect of our endeavors will be of the highest quality.”

In previous years, youth symphony students attended different music camps across Georgia and in Jacksonville. This was the first year the students had the opportunity to train and work together during the summer as a cohesive student community. The Coastal Youth Symphony is an affiliate of the Coastal Symphony of Georgia.

Huie-Wilcox Gallery Opening

The Huie-Wilcox Gallery, honoring the legacy of Mildred Nix Huie and Mildred Huie Wilcox in the Golden Isles, was unveiled in

the lobby of the Hargett Building on November 1 as another event in the 50th anniversary celebration of the College. The gallery houses the College’s permanent collection of art, Coastal Visions, which was originally curated by Millie Wilcox in 2009.

The Huie-Wilcox Gallery is located in the lobby of the Hargett Building. The gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. The gallery is closed during holidays, including the Friday following Thanksgiving and December 24-January 2. Gallery admission is free.

Cultural Arts Programming at the College of Coastal Georgia

Founders’ DayFifty years to the day, the College celebrated the golden anniversary

of the University System of Georgia granting a charter for the school – Founders’ Day Weekend, October 21-22, 2011.

A seaside concert Friday evening by Randall Bramblett, presented by AT&T as part of the Southern Storytellers series, was the highlight of the weekend. Musician, songwriter, and vocalist Bramblett has a career spanning more than 35 years. A native of Jesup, GA, Bramblett has worked with performers such as Bonnie Raitt, Steve Winwood, the Allman Brothers Band, Traffic, Sea Level, and Widespread Panic.

Saturday morning started with “Breakfast with the Presidents”

Former College presidents Dr. John Teel and Dr. Dorothy Lord joined current president Dr. Valerie Hepburn in reflecting on What a

Difference 50 Years Make.

Following breakfast, participants attended back-to-school sessions by faculty offering insightful looks at current topics of interest in business and economics, teacher preparation, nursing, and the environment.

Alumnus and Trustee Mel Baxter hosted the Breakfast

with the Presidents.

Foundation Donor Reception

A December 1 reception at the magnificent Sea Island residence of the late Carley Zell, hosted by the Foundation, provided a

sparkling occasion for almost 250 guests to celebrate the success of the 2011 fundraising campaign.

Playing from the second-floor balcony, student musicians with the Chamber Ensemble of the Coastal Youth Symphony provided music for the reception. Former Coastal Georgia student Chef Brian Justice, owner of Tasteful Temptations, was the caterer.

Campus

Following a competitive selection process, the College entered into a five-year

exclusive agreement with the Coca-Cola Company and Brunswick Coca-Cola United in August. As a Coca-Cola campus – including waters and sports beverages – the College receives cash and in-kind support for athletic programs and Foundation activities.

Student life and campus programming, the general scholarship fund, the athletic general fund, and the Chairmen’s Campaign will all benefit from the exclusive agreement.

In its three-year strategic plan, the College Foundation identified an active and engaged alumni association as a key component in

securing a successful future for the College. The Foundation formed an Alumni Advisory Committee in December 2010. Enthusiastically chaired by Dr. Glenn Thomas Carson ’80, the committee was charged with developing an alumni association to bring together 45 class years of students since the College was chartered in 1961.

The Alumni Association was officially chartered in June 2011 with a mission to engage, connect and celebrate alumni and friends of the College. Creating an annual alumni scholarship and assisting student recruitment were identified as the first two action items.

Alumnus Shaw McVeigh launched the alumni scholarship campaign with a $1,000 challenge. Alumni contributions to the Foundation annual fund exceeded expectations – more than double the original $5,000 goal – and the first alumni scholarship will be awarded for fall term 2012.

Dr. Carson’s leadership and advocacy efforts were recognized during the campus Honors Day program in mid-April 2011 with presentation of the Foundation’s inaugural Alumni of the Year award. In addition to his efforts on behalf of the College, Dr. Carson is an author, consulting pastor and president of the Disciples of Christ Historical Society and serves on the Board of Directors of The Zambia Project, providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Zambia.

In November, the Foundation Trustees approved the first elected leadership board of the new Alumni Association, serving a two-year term commencing January 1, 2012.

The Center for Service-Learning, which will be housed in the new Teacher Education and Learning

Center, was established by a two-year grant from the St. Marys United Methodist Church Foundation. The grant was a strategic initiative by the Foundation to build the capacity of organizations in Southeast Georgia. Through service-learning, students actively participate in civic engagement and community commitment – cultivating a new generation of caring and experienced citizens as well as increasing regional community volunteerism.

In 2011, grants totaling $1,012,500 were awarded to 12 organizations. Coastal Georgia is honored to have been the recipient of a SMUMC Foundation grant, to share their values and goals, and to work with them as a community partner.

The College of Coastal Georgia adopted service-learning in 2011 as a signature academic initiative to improve the quality of student learning.

Service-learning is a teaching approach in which students expand their academic learning through prac-tical application in hands-on, re-al-life experiences that promote community interests. Through service-learning and community engagement, students enhance their academic and leadership skills – including critical think-

ing, communication, and teamwork - while helping others.

Dr. Phillis L. George serves as the new Director of Service-Learning and Assistant Professor of Social Science. Dr. George studied at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton, before receiving her B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her M.Sc. from Oxford University, Cambridge.

Science and Engineering spark partnership

During 2011, Pinova sponsored two significant Coastal Georgia programs with outreach to the school systems and emphasis on

science and mathematics – the Coastal Georgia Regional Science and Engineering Fair and Expanding Your Horizons Day.

The annual science and engineering fair stimulates elementary, middle and high school students’ excitement about the sciences. Winners at the regional fair are eligible for scholarships, cash prizes and special recognition, as well as being selected to compete in the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair held in Athens during the spring.

Expanding Your Horizons Day is a collaboration between the College and the Glynn County School System to motivate young women to pursue classes in the sciences. College faculty members and community experts present fascinating, interactive workshops to girls in grades 5-8 to encourage them to take science and math classes and consider careers in related fields. The girls and their parents spend the day on campus attending the workshops and hearing presentations by dynamic, successful women scientists. Pinova now serves as the corporate sponsor for the program. Pinova is a local corporate partner, employing scientists in fields of innovation and manufacturing.

On March 24, the College honored Miriam and Hugh Nunnally and paid tribute to Coastal

Georgia’s nursing students and graduates during the dedication of the Miriam and Hugh Nunnally Center for Nursing Education. The gift by Hugh P. Nunnally, Jr., in honor of his late wife, Miriam, specifically supports capital projects and programming to benefit committed nursing students and to further develop top-quality nursing education.

“The Institute of Medicine’s 2010 Report: The Future of Nursing: Leading Change,

Advancing Health, calls for nurses, as the largest component of the healthcare workforce, to lead the charge to ensure that accessible, high quality care is available to the nation’s diverse patient population. This gift from the Nunnallys, in combination with the support received from the partnership with the Southeast Georgia Health System and the University System of Georgia, makes a significant impact as we educate students in a state-of-the-art learning environment. These individuals will be capable nursing leaders who are able to have a significant impact in transforming the healthcare delivery system,” said Dr. Patricia Kraft, Southeast Georgia Health System Distinguished Dean of Nursing and Health Sciences.

The Nunnally Center for Nursing Education is housed in the Health and Science Building which was dedicated on January 21. The first instructional facility opened on the Brunswick campus in nearly 30 years, the 47,500-square-foot building set the design and functional standards for future campus facilities, earning LEED silver certification and an American Concrete Institute design award. The building includes nursing fundamental and health assessment labs; radiological teaching, clinical technician, microbiology, anatomy-physiology and chemistry labs; 125-seat auditorium; a simulation lab with high fidelity mannequins; a science education learning center lab; and general classrooms.

Foundation offers HOPE and Dreams

Determined to support the College of Coastal Georgia’s objective of keeping higher education affordable, the College Foundation

awarded 56 scholarships of $1,000 to students for fall term 2011 who qualified for HOPE scholarships and applied for the competitive bridge scholarship to help cover any gap between HOPE scholarship funds and actual college expenses. The renewable scholarships are applied $500 per semester with successful matriculation and demonstrated progress towards a degree.

Recruiting, retaining and graduating talented, committed students is not only good for the region, but good for Georgia and the national economy as well.

Miriam and Hugh Nunnally Center for Nursing Education

Supporting the Boys of Summer

The College Foundation received a grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation to support the minority outreach program.

The Boys of Summer is part of the College’s M i n o r i t y Outreach program, made possible solely through the generosity of gifts from community supporters. Sixty rising seventh graders of African-American heritage from Glynn and McIntosh counties graduated from the 2011 Boys of Summer program in mid-July after completing a rigorous five-week program of academic preparation.

“Providing support to an organization like yours, which provides opportunities for underprivileged youth through the Boys of Summer Program and

improves the overall quality of life in the Brunswick community, is key to our strategy to build capacities that truly make a difference.”

— Mary Ann Portt, Vice President/Georgia Community Market Manager for Bank of America

Arthur and Lindee LucasEndowed Scholarship in Entrepreneurship

As a successful entrepreneur and businessman, Sea Island resident Art Lucas never forgets his roots in McIntosh County and the

Georgia coast. So he and his wife Lindee decided to support business talent in Glynn or McIntosh counties by endowing a scholarship in 2011. The scholarship is awarded to an upper division business major in the School of Business and Public Affairs who has 60 or more credit hours toward their BBA, including coursework in entrepreneurship. Art Lucas even interviews the scholarship finalists himself as part of the award process , continuing to engage in the spirited involvement of a true entrepreneur.

“This scholarship has been a tremendous opportunity for me,” said recipient Darby Chancey. “Not only does it provide financial support for my studies at Coastal Georgia, but it also gives me the opportunity to network with Mr. Lucas. Like a mentor, he is sharing wisdom and insights from his own entrepreneurial experiences, including human resources and consulting. I place great value on the encouragement he provides.”

Dr. Kevin Mobbs joined the Coastal Georgia Faculty in 2011 as Assistant Professor of Music and Coordinator of Instructional

Technology. “Music has always embraced – even pushed – technological

advancement, from Bach’s organ to electric guitars, synthesizers and computers,” he says, explaining his combined role. “I became interested in technology, not just for music and performance, but for music education. Instructional technology in general followed from that interest.”

Dr. Mobbs received his D.M.A. and M.M. from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, his Ed.S. from the University of West Georgia,

and his B.A. from Jacksonville State University. His instrument of choice is the trombone.

In 2011, Dr. Mobbs opted to give to the general, unrestricted fund. “I know the Foundation will use my gift wherever the need is greatest, whether for scholarships, campus programming or academic programming.”

“I want to see this College be the college of choice for students who value dynamic courses, an engaged campus, and studying with collaborative faculty. That’s something for which I’m willing to invest both my time and my money.”

Stephen and Judy Bodolay lived in Georgia between 1987-2000, while Stephen served as Legal Counsel to FLETC. Judy volunteered to help

in their youngest daughter’s class at St. Simons Elementary. Instead, she was promptly hired to work as a paraprofessional. She worked at the school for over a decade, primarily with the second grade classes.

Although Judy took some courses at the College, she did not opt for teacher certification because she believed she was able to direct more of her time to the children as a paraprofessional.

“Judy was very dedicated and deeply loved children,” her husband recalled. “She became particularly attached to the children who were bused to St. Simons for school from Dixville, a neighborhood in downtown Brunswick.”

Judy also volunteered for an after-school tutoring program at Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Dixville. She would follow the school

buses back to the mainland several afternoons each week to assist the children with homework and studies.

“She believed strongly that education is essential to being a productive, independent member of society and she wanted those kids to get a decent education,” he continued. “When Judy died, I wanted some way to honor her. I knew this scholarship would not only please her, but also be a fitting memorial to her love for those children.”

“It is gratifying to realize that some young people from Dixville are receiving help with their education through this scholarship,” he concludes. “I know that Judy would be proud of them.”

Gerald A. Zell Nursing ScholarshipAudrey Young wished to commemorate her close friend, Gerald

Zell, with an educational legacy tied to the College, in keeping with the Zell family’s long-standing interest and commitment. As a result, her estate included a generous bequest to establish the Gerald A. Zell Nursing Scholarship.

This scholarship program will benefit high-achieving BSN students. The scholarship will keep the supply line for new nurses flowing smoothly to the healthcare system. Because of the intensity of the accelerated nursing program, students are typically unable to work while completing the course of study, resulting in financial challenges.

The inaugural recipient will be awarded in fall 2012.Members of the first accelerated BSN graduating class

Carrie Parker, a freshman member of the Coastal Georgia softball team, completed her first semester with a perfect 4.0 GPA. She came to Coastal Georgia from Jesup, where she was a

standout on the athletic field and in the classroom at Wayne County High School. In high school, Carrie played softball and soccer all four years and basketball as a ninth grader.

She won the team Academic Award every year she played on the softball team and also won the award for two years in soccer. Her softball team members presented her with the Perseverance Award. On the soccer field, she was a standout sweeper and won the team’s Defensive Award three times in four seasons.

Carrie says balancing academics and athletics can be difficult, requiring discipline to excel in both areas. “It’s time-consuming, but you just have to be on top of your game. It’s hard. There’s not a lot of free time. Even on weekends, I do homework and study.”

Carrie plans to become a pharmacist. She worked in a Jesup pharmacy this summer prior to starting her college coursework. “When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a doctor,” she explains. “But now I want to be in the medical field without being in the actual hospital.”

As a student-athlete, she is proud to be a Foundation scholarship recipient. “It’s definitely hard work,” Carrie concludes. “You have to have extra-curricular activities and also good grades to get one, and you’re competing against a lot of people. It’s an honor.”

The College Foundation has been instrumental in transforming the athletic programs at Coastal Georgia from just two varsity sports

in 2009 to ten in 2011. A vibrant and successful athletic program is essential to the total college experience. Among the 2011 highlights:

A Conference to Call HomeThe College of Coastal Georgia was accepted into the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) in mid-summer and accepted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in September. The SSAC currently has 15 member schools in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.

A Perfect 4.0 Eight Coastal Georgia student-athletes earned 4.0 GPAs during fall term, including Dinos Golf Scholarship recipients Dylan Freeman and Christian Liggin.

Spiking DebutThe new women’s volleyball team competed for the first time this fall, finishing with a remarkable 15-17 record in its inaugural season. The Mariners recorded their first win in their second match and kept a winning record for much of the season before tough competition and injuries caught up with the team.

Golf Honors The inaugural season for the men’s and women’s golf teams was memorable as both teams won their respective conference championships in 2011 and competed in the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship tournaments. The men

finished fourth at nationals and the women were sixth. Men’s players Chase Miller and Shiloh Snow and women’s player Christian Liggin were named All-Americans.

Going Out with a Title Competing in its final season as a two-year college in the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association, the men’s basketball team won the regular-season CGAA championship. Enroute to the title, head coach Gerald Cox claimed his 600th career victory.

Back on the HardwoodThe new women’s basketball program started in late October and ended the year calendar with a record of 10-9. 2011 marked the first women’s varsity basketball on campus since the women’s program was disbanded in the mid-1980s.
