GHC Names Dean of Libraries, College Testing, and Curriculum Innovation

Georgia Highlands College announced it has named a new Dean of Libraries, College Testing, and Curriculum Innovation, according to a news release.

Elijah Scott, who was previously GHC’s Director of Libraries, will oversee the libraries and also take charge of the college testing sites at each of the five campuses and the college’s curriculum innovation processes, the school said.

Scott had been the director of libraries since 2010. In that time, he has overseen the libraries on the Floyd, Cartersville, Paulding, and Douglasville campuses, while holding a collaborative relationship with Kennesaw State University’s library at GHC’s Marietta site.

Scott’s new duties will include the oversight of GHC’s college testing process, which includes administering COMPASS tests to nearly all incoming students, as well as other proctored tests for services like eCore (the University System of Georgia’s online two-year core program).

“I’m fortunate to work with an incredible group of people in our GHC libraries and in our college administration,” he said. “Moving into this new role will provide even more opportunities to ensure that we provide the best possible resources and services to students, faculty/staff, and the communities we serve in the northwest Georgia region.”
