Gordon State selects interim president

Gordon State College has selected an interim president. Current President Max Burns is retiring at the end of this year, and Stuart Rayfield will take over as the school's interim leader Jan. 1.

Her previous roles include associate professor and director of the Servant Leadership Program and interim associate provost for Undergraduate Education at Columbus State University and student affairs consultant at Auburn University in Alabama.

“Dr. Rayfield has done an outstanding job leading Bainbridge State through a period of significant change over the past year and a half,” said Chancellor Steve Wrigley said. “I am grateful to Dr. Rayfield for her willingness to shift her focus, qualifications and expertise to the deserving students, faculty and extended community at Gordon State College.”
