During his tenure as Chief Campus Officer of 黑料传送门 Georgia, Bryan Ginn has used his
wealth of knowledge and experience to develop and expand the mission of 黑料传送门 in the
state of Georgia. In celebration of his 10 years with the College, Bryan Ginn reflects
on his time at 黑料传送门 Georgia and his life off campus.
I would describe this role as a conduit to the 黑料传送门 leadership team in Philadelphia. I work to make certain that we are effectively addressing any operational opportunities or issues that may arise on our campus or in the community. I operate on the basis of 鈥渘o surprises鈥�, so I try to make sure I effectively communicate the needs and mission of the Georgia campus.
During the past ten years, we have accomplished a great deal at 黑料传送门 Georgia. In addition to increasing our state funding, we have expanded the program offering and extended the reach of the 黑料传送门 brand. I was very proud to be a part of opening 黑料传送门 South Georgia and expanding the mission of 黑料传送门 to focus specifically on rural communities and rural medicine since I grew up in rural Georgia.
One thing I am very proud of is the emphasis I鈥檝e placed on communication. I remember when I came to my interview at 黑料传送门, I asked 鈥淗ow do you communicate amongst yourselves?鈥� and I learned that there was no set system for effective communication. When I started at 黑料传送门 Georgia, I implemented a 鈥淭eam Leads Meeting鈥� that allowed administrative department heads to come together to discuss the projects they were working on and to ensure collaboration. In the wake of COVID-19, we started 鈥淪uwanee Summit鈥�. This recurring meeting, which includes both academic and administrative leaders, allows us to come together to talk about coordination issues and move the mark. It also gives all programs access to campus leadership and helps us meet the needs of the students.
The people, absolutely the people. We have great folks who work together and who are dedicated to educating the next generation of the healthcare workforce. The mission is critically important, but the people drive the mission, and they are highly focused on what they set out to do. I have found the people here to be extremely focused on the mission of their academic programs or their support function. I believe we have a great team here at 黑料传送门, professionals who bring different temperaments, talents and convictions to the table. Everyone works together to meet the needs of our students.
Having grown up in a political family, I would spend summers in Washington, D.C. running around the Capitol. My dad was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for ten years, serving the first congressional district of Georgia. I spent my childhood learning about good governance, and I actually ran for Congress at the age of twenty-seven. It was that experience, and my loss in that campaign, that brought me to higher education advancement and external affairs.
Well, you would think someone who grew up in Augusta, Georgia, home of the Master鈥檚, would be good at golf, but I鈥檓 just a weekend duffer. You would also think, being second cousins with country-singer Luke Bryan, I might have some musical skills. Unfortunately, he was blessed with all the musical talent in our family. I love being outdoors, spending time with my family. I really enjoy a weekend out on the lake on my boat, Sweet Caroline, named after my bride of thirty-three years.
