Interim VP of Academic Affairs Named at Gordon College

Ed Wheeler has been named Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs at Gordon College.

Wheeler was at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah for 21 years most recently serving as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

He earned his undergraduate degree, with honors, from Samford University and a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. He has been a mathematics professor for most of his career and is the author of several mathematics textbooks.

His wife, Claire, is a practicing clinical psychologist. The couple has two children, both of whom are educators, and one grandchild.

Gordon College Offers Saturday Campus Visit Day

Gordon College is offering prospective students and their families an opportunity to visit the campus, tour the resident halls and take care of various applications during a special campus visit day Saturday, June 7 from 9 a.m. to noon.

And as a special incentive, the $20 admission application fee will be waived that day.

“We realize that students and their families may not be able to visit our campus together during the week,” said Lisa Shiveler, director of admissions. “So we are offering a special campus visit day on the weekend.”

Staff will be on hand to answer questions, help with the paperwork for admission and on-campus housing and to escort visitors on tours of the campus.

Those interested should visit the Gordon College Welcome Center at the corner of Spencer Street and College Drive on the southwest corner of the campus. Parking is available directly behind the Welcome Center.
