COLLEGE REPRESENATIVES INFORMATION
All high school juniors and seniors in Georgia public and private schools
are encouraged to attend PROBE fairs. Counselors, principals, headmasters,
superintendents, parents and officials of institutions represented in the fairs are
also urged to attend. Students prefer presentations to cover information, which
cannot be found in publications: transitions to college, academic climate,
student regulations, financial aid, housing, and social and religious activities.
Information should be supplied in sufficient quantities to give one to each
interested student.
*IMAGE: Each representative should keep in mind that
actions during PROBE activities reflect not only his or her
own situation, but other representatives and their institution
as well.
*NACAC PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE have been
adopted by GEAC as a guide. Representatives should be
familiar with and abide by them.
*PROMPTNESS is important. Representatives should be on
time for the program (set up at least 15 to 30 minutes before)
and should remain until the end. Keep in mind rush hour
traffic problems.
*A CONFLICT OR EMERGENCY may arise which prevents
a representative from attending a particular program. The
event host should be notified if this occurs.
*TABLE COVERS ARE REQUIRED for all institutions that
participate in PROBE. These should be covers appropriate
for 6 foot tables and must cover the entire tabletop. Some
Programs will require table covers to the floor on three sides.
Representatives arriving at programs without tablecloths will
be required to get one or will be asked to leave the program.
*AUDIO and VIDEO EQUIPMENT are not permitted at fair
and workshops.
*SMOKING is not permitted by College Representatives at
display tables during PROBE events.
*ALL CORRESPODENCE to participating institutions from
PROBE will be addressed to Director of Admissions.

HISTORY OF THE GEORGIA COLLEGE DAY TOUR
Following World War II, Harold Bixler, director of Guidance for the City of Atlanta
Public Schools, initiated an organized College Day Program for the carious high schools
of Atlanta. This program was later administered by E.L. Floyd, former principal of Boys
High School and then by Ben Gibson, subsequently with the Southern Regional Office of the
Georgia Board.
In 1950, under the direction of Bill Row of West Georgia College, the Georgia
Association of Colleges recognized the need for an organized program of high school
visitations throughout the state. This need was felt because high schools were asking colleges
to visit them on a haphazard basis, and college representatives were requesting entry into
the high schools at different times during the year. The original schedule was established so
that representatives could move throughout the state with ease and without a great deal of
overlapping and so that only one program would be held at the same time.
Originally, programs were either held during the school day, after school, or at night.
Many of the day programs were held in the local churches. Some programs were of the
fair type where all the representatives were either the gymnasium or cafeteria. Some of the
programs were a regular three period schedule of thirty minutes each, while some had an
assembly program, which preceded the regular program. A few programs had luncheons or
dinners in connection with them.
In 1960 the University of Georgia was asked to take over the administration of the
College Day schedule and did so – changing the coordination from the Georgia Association of
Colleges to the Georgia Education Association. M.O. Phelps and the University Admissions
office assumed the responsibility for making out the schedule and the Georgia Education
Association distributed the schedule to high schools, colleges, and vocational – technical
schools and hospitals schools of nursing. The College Day Committee was composed of the
college representatives from the Georgia Association of School Counselors. This committee
approved the program and handled the business concerning the programs.
Between 1960 and 1965 more and more programs were consolidated, and gradually
most of the programs were held at night. Attempts were made at various times during these
years to have counselor’s conferences along with the programs, and several of these were
held and some of them were more or less successful.
Around 1966 the administration of the College Day schedule was accepted by
LaGrange College. The administration of these programs stayed at LaGrange College for
two years and was moved back to the University of Georgia’s admissions office took over
the administration of the program and organized the Articulation Committee, which was
composed of representatives from various organizations interested in secondary and high
education. About this time, attendance at the College Day Programs began falling off, so
various experiments were held to try to improve participation. An attempt was made to have
the schedule in the spring, particularly aimed at high school juniors. This experiment met
with limited success. Other attempts were made to hold the College Day Programs on college
campuses. This too was successful in some areas, and not as well received in others.
One of the first projects of the Articulation Committee was a workshop for high school
counselors, which was held at Rock Eagle. This workshop had excellent potential. But only
about twenty counselors attended, so the extent of the participation was limited. The small
number of counselors was probably due to the fact that counselors or their schools had to pay
their own expenses.
26
In 1969 the Articulation Committee asked the Georgia Education Improvement Council
(GEIC) to take over the sponsorship of the activities of the Articulation Committee. Ed Martin,
Executive Director, assumed the chairmanship of the now established Georgia Education
Articulation Committee.
A project was introduced whereby assembly programs would be held in selected high
schools in the general area of the host College Night program. This idea produced limited
success. In 1971 the Articulation Committee sponsored a series of counselor luncheons
throughout the state. These luncheons were fairly well attended and in some cases were
quite effective. The Articulation Committee also sponsored four thirty-minute movies for
educational television. These programs were entitled “Colleges, Colleges, Colleges,” Fort
Valley State, Oxford College, LaGrange College and Georgia College participated in these
television productions.
The Articulation Committee through the GEIC co-sponsored the Certificate of Merit
Program with the University of Georgia for several years.
Under the leadership of GEIC, “PROBE: A Look into Post secondary Education,”
became the official theme of the varied articulation activities involving secondary and post
secondary education. What had been a new version in 1971 of College Day/Night programs
has now become a traditional approach to articulation between high school and colleges, state
vocational – technical schools of nursing.
As a result of the reorganization of Georgia State Government, the GEIC was transferred
to the General Assembly and consequently in 1972 relinquished leadership to the Articulation
Committee.
In 1972, Lloyd Joyner, Registrar and Director of Admissions of Georgia Southern
College, assumed the chairmanship of the Georgia Education Articulation Committee. Georgia
Southern College also provided the necessary administrative and logistical support. During
Mr. Joyner’s chairmanship, the work of GEAC was conducted by an extensive committee
structure involving many professional educators from throughout the state. These committee
members were chosen from both secondary and post secondary levels of education.
During the period of time between 1972 and 1980, the number of fairs and mini-fairs
offered throughout the state increased. The fairs, held primarily in shopping malls and civic
centers in the larger cities and metropolitan areas, reached increasingly larger numbers of
high school students and their parents. The mini fairs, conducted in high schools, continued
to serve the less densely populated areas of the state during school hours. The conselor
workshops held around the state increased in popularity and provided high school counselors
the opportunity to interact ith college representatives as well as to attend formal informational
sessions.
Mr. Lloyd Joyner retired from Georgia Southern College in March of 1981. As a result
of his retirement, the chairmanship of GEAC was changed. George Stanbury, Dean of
Admissions of Georgia State University, who held office for two years with Erin O’Brien
as treasurer, then assumed the chairmanship. In January of 1983 Thomas McDonald, Vice
Chancellor of the University System of Georgia, was elected President of the now incorporated
GEAC, following Dr. Stanbury’s leaving the GSU Admissions Office. The Administrative
support for GEAC remained at Georgia State University for four years. In September of
1984 the GEAC office was moved back to the University of Georgia with Erin O’Brien as
treasurer. In 1992 the administrative coordinator and support was moved to North Georgia
College with Bill Smith as treasurer. In 2001, Bill Smith retired from North Georiga and was
made Executive Director.
