A Message From Valerie A. Hepburn, Ph.D.,
Interim President of the College of Coastal Georgia

Welcome to the College of Coastal Georgia. You are visiting our College at an exciting time. During academic year 2008-2009, the College of Coastal Georgia will transition to become a baccalaureate degree granting institution. The first steps toward our expanded mission will be seeking a new level of accreditation to offer bachelor's degree programs in Business Administration, Early Childhood Education, Middle Grades Education, and Nursing. The College's new name reflects the expanding role and new opportunities for our College.

Our comprehensive mission also includes providing pre-baccalaureate degree programs for transfer, technical programs leading to immediate employment, lifelong learning, participation in economic development within the College service area, and partnerships with K-12 schools. We have a rich history of providing exceptional offerings in these areas, and we will continue to ensure top quality education across all of our degree and program areas. Through our locations in Glynn and Camden counties, we offer an outstanding array of opportunities for young professionals, traditional students and adult learners.

During this transition year, programs and opportunities at the College will be evolving and expanding. Please visit our website often for the latest information. We welcome your input and suggestions as we move forward.

Our faculty and staff are fully committed to the communities we serve and the success of our students. The College of Coastal Georgia is a wonderful place to learn, work and contribute. We invite you to visit us and join our family.

On behalf of our faculty, staff, students, and community partners, it is indeed my pleasure to welcome you to the College of Coastal Georgia.

Sincerely,

Valerie A. Hepburn, Ph.D.
Interim President
