2011 Annual Report
The Campus Center, which opened in 2011,
houses the Stembler Theatre and the Southeast
Georgia Health System Student Health Center.
Letter from the Chairman and the President
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are excited to share and celebrate our accomplishments throughout 2011. Your gifts in
excess of $2.3 million to the College of Coastal Georgia Foundation have supported more than
300 student scholarships; funded faculty development programs; implemented a wide range
of innovative cultural and artistic programming; further developed our intercollegiate athletic
programs; and secured revenues to renovate and construct academic facilities.
The 2011-2012 academic year marks our campus-wide Year of Engagement. Together, we
have actively engaged in reaching out to our alumni and friends as well as initiating an important
planned giving program, The Legacy Project.
Teaching and learning remain the primary emphases of our campus and, as such, faculty
and our students continue to be the principal foci. The year was marked by the continuation
of a high level of activity in extracurricular and campus programs. The volume and creativity
of student involvement in an array of community service venues are inspiring. Athletics at all
levels - intercollegiate as well as intramural and
club sports - witnessed unusual success with
the introduction of women’s volleyball and
basketball, women’s and men’s cross country,
and All-American status for three of our golfers.
The complete renovation of Academic
Commons North; the opening of the new Health
and Science Building, the Campus Center,
Lakeside Village, the tennis complex; and the
groundbreaking for the Teacher Education
and Learning Center are among the myriad
of physical changes the campus experienced
in 2011. Now we are truly a vibrant,
dynamic residential campus – a significant
transformation.
Students gather in Lakeside Village.
The incredible generosity of College family and
friends made these activities possible. We are honored with the level of engagement evidenced by
our community partners. The 2011 campaign has provided major impetus for further changes and
greater possibilities. Across this campus one can see and feel the positive effects of the new and
renovated facilities, new scholarship funds, and countless new program initiatives. While much
has been accomplished, there is much yet to be done. We continue to rely on your generosity and
collaboration to help us achieve “excellence without ego and access without apology.”

College of Coastal Georgia Foundation Annual Report
Building a Strong Foundation
2011 marked the 50th anniversary
of the chartering of the College by the University System of Georgia. The
College of Coastal Georgia Foundation celebrated this benchmark with a
series of signature events and initiatives to cultivate new donors, engage
alumni, and promote public support – building for the next 50 years and
beyond.
Foundation members believe higher education is a top priority for the
economic and cultural viability of southeastern Georgia. The Foundation’s
objective is to boost Coastal Georgia’s rapid transformation to a four-year
baccalaureate institution and a residential campus, catalyzing significant,
positive change in the community. Through the Foundation’s advocacy and
sustained giving campaigns, trustees ensure a margin of excellence in key
areas:
• Student housing and capital expansion;
• Student scholarships;
• Academic programming and faculty development;
• Athletic programming and facilities; and
• Campus programming and student life.
During 2011 the Foundation established an alumni association, forged
new partnerships, set the foundation for the next phase of housing through
the Chairmen’s Campaign, and developed more diversified giving options
through The Legacy Project. They increased scholarship funding by
almost 20%, nearly doubled funds allocated for faculty development, and
increased resources for campus programming and student life by more
than 33%. Scholarships now account for almost 40% of the Foundation’s
annual budget.
The quality of our faculty, students and graduates will continue to rise as
a result of these initiatives. Coastal Georgia is no longer just a stepping stone
to somewhere else – it’s the solid foundation upon which our community is
building.

About the College of Coastal Georgia
T
OUR VISION
The College of Coastal
Georgia will be a college of
choice for students within
Georgia and beyond,
providing an outstanding
education for tomorrow’s
leaders and citizens
through service learning,
global awareness, and
engaged entrepreneurship.
he College of Coastal Georgia is a four-year baccalaureate school in the University
System of Georgia, providing an affordable education and signature service-learning
academic initiatives in the natural beauty and abundant sunshine of the Southeast coast.
Coastal Georgia was named one of the nation’s best values in higher education, according
to the U.S. Department of Education (July
2011), recognized among the top 10% of
American public four-year colleges.
The College stresses experiential and
service-learning with Bachelor’s degrees
currently offered in biological sciences,
business, health informatics, mathematics,
nursing, psychology, and teacher education.
The College has embarked on a strategic
master plan that includes additional
baccalaureate degrees, redesigned and
enlarged academic facilities, expanded
athletic programs, and campus student
housing. The objective is to foster a vibrant,
attractive campus community excelling in
extra-curricular and co-curricular learning
that will advance students’ professional
development and personal experience.
The campus community is part of the
larger community of Southeast Georgia.
The College is committed to serving as an
instrument of community engagement
and a resource for economic and cultural
development. Partnerships exist with
institutions such as the Southeast Georgia
Health System, the Federal Law Enforcement Foundation Scholarship recipient Samelia King in
Training Center, the Southeast Georgia Joint the new Campus Center
Development Authorities, the Camden
Partnership, the Brunswick-Glynn County Archway Partnership, the Glynn County
School System, the Jekyll Island Authority, and a wide range of community service and
arts organizations.
With a Fall 2011 enrollment of more than 3,400 students, the College of Coastal
Georgia is developing lasting recognition as a respected destination for outstanding
undergraduate education and as an invaluable community resource.

Lakeside Village student housing
A
New
Era
Begins
Coastal Georgia as a Residential Campus
S
ince its chartering in 1961, the College has been a commuter
campus. The opening of Lakeside Village in August 2011
marked a significant change in the dynamics of student life and
campus activity.
“This is just the beginning, not the end,” College President Dr.
Valerie A. Hepburn said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony on
July 29 for the first phase of Lakeside Village, a 350-bed student
housing complex. The Chancellor of the University System of
Georgia, local dignitaries, members of the Georgia General Assembly
Delegation, and Chairman of the Board of Regents agreed that oncampus student housing would positively impact the economic
development and character of the area.
Junior Derrick Taylor studies in his room in Lakeside Village.

Mariners Galley Dinning Hall
In his remarks, University System Chancellor Henry M. Huckaby said
that his research in the university system demonstrated that residential
students are more involved on campus and have better grades. He also
stressed the important role of the College Foundation, noting that the
work of institutionally-related foundations is increasingly critical to all
institutions in the state university system.
The day was capped by a fundraiser sponsored by the College
Foundation and the construction firm of H.J. Russell & Company for
planning of Phase II – the next student residence complex. Guest attire
ranged from casual beach clothes to an elegant smoking jacket for
the “pajama party” staged on the lawn of Lakeside Village as people
toured the complex, danced to the music of Mason Waters and the
Groove All Stars, and enjoyed an elegant cocktail buffet prepared and
served by the Coastal Georgia Culinary Arts students. A bonus was
the grand opening and first movie showing in the 150-seat Kathrine
Jenkins and John H. Stembler Theatre of the Campus Center.
Enrollment has grown by 40% to more than 3,400 students.
Recognizing the important role of student housing for continued
growth of the College, the Foundation made student housing and
capital expansion the top fundraising priority in their strategic plan.
With diminishing state resources and growing demand for higher
education, private philanthropy is the primary avenue for ensuring a
margin of excellence. The Chairmen’s Capital Campaign was launched
in 2011 to secure initial funding for the second phase of on-campus
housing. The campaign is partnering with 50 deeply committed,
visionary donors who will contribute $10,000 each towards the
College’s goal of providing on-campus housing for up to 20% of
the students.

2011 Happenings
Center for Academic Success
T
he Center for Academic Success (CAS) provides intense support
services for at-risk and first generation college students. The
objective of the Center for Academic Success is to promote improved
passage of first-year classes, successful and timely progression, and
graduation.
State funding and tuition do not viably support supplemental
instruction at this level, but for these incoming students, supplemental
instruction is critical for their success.
Coastal Georgia received a $100,000 grant to build capacity for
CAS over the next two years.
Fat Daddy Rocks the King & Prince
A
lthough attorney Bob Killian says Fat Daddy is not an “official”
band, former school buddies Randy Jordan, Gordon Strother,
and Bruce Raines, plus friends and family, get together once a year
or so to play the music that made them a fixture in the Golden Isles
during the late eighties.
They returned in 2011 to rock the walls and halls at the King &
Prince Resort with a benefit performance April 16 for the College
Foundation, one of a series of events commemorating the 50th
anniversary of the College.
Trustees William Stembler, with his granddaughter, and Pat Hodnett
Cooper open the Campus Center.

featured songs from the 12 CDs she has recorded since her 1995
debut, “Songs from the Levee.” Her vocal range and consistency are
frequently compared to Emmy Lou Harris, while her story telling is
linked to the Southern literary tradition of Eudora Welty, William
Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor.

Cultural Arts Programming at the College of Coastal Georgia
CALL Committee Initial Report
T
he College of Coastal Georgia Foundation convened an ad hoc
Planning Committee for Cultural, Arts
and Lifelong Learning (CALL) Programs in
January 2011 to inform the design process
for the proposed Coastal Community Center
for the Arts by determining what programs
the community would support when the
Center is not in use by the schools.
The committee, chaired by Foundation
Trustee Anita Timmons and vice-chaired
by Trustee Willou Smith, conducted a
needs/demands analysis of potential new programming in arts and
cultural affairs, including input from the public concerning types of
programs that would be responsive to community interests. Core
membership of the planning committee included representatives
from the school system and arts and cultural organizations as well
as the general community. The final report, detailing findings and
recommendations, was approved by the committee in December.
In previous years, youth symphony students attended different
music camps across Georgia and in Jacksonville. This was the first
year the students had the opportunity to train and work together
during the summer as a cohesive student community. The Coastal
Youth Symphony is an affiliate of the Coastal Symphony of Georgia.
Huie-Wilcox Gallery Opening
T
he Huie-Wilcox Gallery, honoring the legacy of Mildred Nix Huie
and Mildred Huie Wilcox in the Golden Isles, was unveiled in
the lobby of the Hargett Building on November 1 as another event in
the 50th anniversary celebration of the College. The gallery houses
the College’s permanent collection of art, Coastal Visions, which was
originally curated by Millie Wilcox in 2009.
Coastal Youth Symphony Collaboration
E
xcited student musicians converged on the campus in mid-July
2011 for the inaugural Coastal Youth Symphony Music Camp
held in College facilities.
“We are honored and delighted that the College of Coastal Georgia is
hosting the Coastal Youth Symphony summer camp. This reaffirms the
tremendous commitment of the College to the development of music
and the arts in our community,” Maestro Luis Haza, Music Director and
Conductor of the Coastal Youth Symphony, said. “Indeed, in this way we
ensure that every aspect of our endeavors will be of the highest quality.”
Mildred Wilcox cuts the ribbon for the Huie-Wilcox Gallery.
The Huie-Wilcox Gallery is located in the lobby of the Hargett
Building. The gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

n its three-year strategic plan, the College Foundation identified
an active and engaged alumni association as a key component in
securing a successful future for the College. The Foundation formed
an Alumni Advisory Committee in December 2010. Enthusiastically
chaired by Dr. Glenn Thomas Carson ’80, the committee was charged
with developing an alumni association to bring together 45 class years
of students since the College was chartered in 1961.
The Alumni Association was officially chartered in June 2011 with
a mission to engage, connect and celebrate alumni and friends of the
College. Creating an annual alumni scholarship and assisting student
recruitment were identified as the first two action items.
Alumnus Shaw McVeigh launched the alumni scholarship campaign
with a $1,000 challenge. Alumni contributions to the Foundation
annual fund exceeded expectations – more than double the original
Dr. Glenn Thomas Carson ’80
$5,000 goal – and the first alumni scholarship will be awarded for fall
term 2012.
Dr. Carson’s leadership and advocacy efforts were recognized during the campus Honors Day program
in mid-April 2011 with presentation of the Foundation’s inaugural Alumni of the Year award. In addition
to his efforts on behalf of the College, Dr. Carson is an author, consulting pastor and president of the
Disciples of Christ Historical Society and serves on the Board of Directors of The Zambia Project, providing
humanitarian assistance to the people of Zambia.
In November, the Foundation Trustees approved the first elected leadership board of the new Alumni
Association, serving a two-year term commencing January 1, 2012.

Community partnerships
St. Marys United Methodist Church Foundation helps students to
Serve.Learn.Succeed.
T
he Center for Service-Learning, which will be housed in the
new Teacher Education and Learning
Center, was established by a two-year grant
from the St. Marys United Methodist Church
Foundation. The grant was a strategic
initiative by the Foundation to build the
capacity of organizations in Southeast
Georgia. Through service-learning, students
actively participate in civic engagement and
community commitment – cultivating a new
generation of caring and experienced citizens as well as increasing
regional community volunteerism.
In 2011, grants totaling $1,012,500 were awarded to 12
organizations. Coastal Georgia is honored to have been the recipient
of a SMUMC Foundation grant, to share their values and goals, and to
work with them as a community partner.
The College of Coastal Georgia adopted service-learning in 2011 as a
signature academic initiative to improve the quality of student learning.
Service-learning is a teaching approach
in which students expand their
academic learning through practical application in hands-on, real-life experiences that promote
community interests. Through
service-learning and community
engagement, students enhance
their academic and leadership
skills – including critical thinkDr. Phillis George
ing, communication, and teamwork - while
helping others.
Dr. Phillis L. George serves as the new Director of ServiceLearning and Assistant Professor of Social Science. Dr. George
studied at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International
Affairs, Princeton, before receiving her B.A. and Ph.D. from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison and her M.Sc. from Oxford
University, Cambridge.
Science and Engineering spark partnership
D
uring 2011, Pinova sponsored two significant Coastal Georgia
programs with outreach to the school systems and emphasis on
science and mathematics – the Coastal Georgia Regional Science and
Engineering Fair and Expanding Your Horizons Day.
The annual science and engineering fair stimulates elementary,
middle and high school students’ excitement about the sciences.
Winners at the regional fair are eligible for scholarships, cash prizes
and special recognition,
as well as being selected
to compete in the Georgia
Science and Engineering
Fair held in Athens during
the spring.
Expanding Your Horizons Day is a collaboration between the
College and the Glynn County School System to motivate young
women to pursue classes in the sciences. College faculty members
and community experts present fascinating, interactive workshops
to girls in grades 5-8 to encourage them to take science and math
classes and consider careers in related fields. The girls and their
parents spend the day on campus attending the workshops and
hearing presentations by dynamic, successful women scientists.
Pinova now serves as the corporate sponsor for the program.
Pinova is a local corporate partner, employing scientists in fields of
innovation and manufacturing.

O
n March 24, the College honored Miriam and
Hugh Nunnally and paid tribute to Coastal
Georgia’s nursing students and graduates
during the dedication of the Miriam and Hugh
Nunnally Center for Nursing Education. The gift
by Hugh P. Nunnally, Jr., in honor of his late wife,
Miriam, specifically supports capital projects
and programming to benefit committed nursing
students and to further develop top-quality
nursing education.
“The Institute of Medicine’s 2010 Report:
The Future of Nursing: Leading Change,
Advancing Health, calls for nurses, as the largest
component of the healthcare workforce, to
lead the charge to ensure that accessible, high
quality care is available to the nation’s diverse
patient population. This gift from the Nunnallys,
in combination with the support received from
the partnership with the Southeast Georgia
Health System and the University System of
Georgia, makes a significant impact as we
educate students in a state-of-the-art learning
environment. These individuals will be capable
nursing leaders who are able to have a significant
impact in transforming the healthcare delivery
system,” said Dr. Patricia Kraft, Southeast
Georgia Health System Distinguished Dean of
Nursing and Health Sciences.

Foundation offers HOPE and Dreams
D
etermined to support the College of Coastal Georgia’s objective
of keeping higher education affordable, the College Foundation
awarded 56 scholarships of $1,000 to students for fall term 2011
who qualified for HOPE scholarships and applied for the competitive
bridge scholarship to help cover any gap between HOPE scholarship
funds and actual college expenses. The renewable scholarships
are applied $500 per semester with successful matriculation and
demonstrated progress towards a degree.
Recruiting, retaining and graduating talented, committed students
is not only good for the region, but good for Georgia and the national
economy as well.
“Providing support to an organization like yours, which provides opportunities for underprivileged youth through the Boys of Summer Program and
improves the overall quality of life in the Brunswick community, is key to our strategy to build capacities that truly make a difference.”
— Mary Ann Portt, Vice President/Georgia Community Market Manager for Bank of America

Arthur and Lindee Lucas
Endowed Scholarship in Entrepreneurship
A
s a successful entrepreneur and businessman, Sea Island resident
Art Lucas never forgets his roots in McIntosh County and the
Georgia coast. So he and his wife Lindee decided to support business
talent in Glynn or McIntosh counties by endowing a scholarship in
2011. The scholarship is awarded to an upper division business major
in the School of Business and Public Affairs who has 60 or more credit
hours toward their BBA, including coursework in entrepreneurship. Art
Lucas even interviews the scholarship finalists himself as part of the
award process , continuing to engage in the spirited involvement of a
true entrepreneur.
“This scholarship has been a tremendous opportunity for me,” said
recipient Darby Chancey. “Not only does it provide financial support for
my studies at Coastal Georgia, but it also gives me the opportunity to
network with Mr. Lucas. Like a mentor, he is sharing wisdom and insights
from his own entrepreneurial experiences, including human resources
and consulting. I place great value on the encouragement he provides.”

Faculty Donor Highlight:
Dr. Kevin Mobbs
D
r. Kevin Mobbs joined the Coastal Georgia Faculty in 2011 as
Assistant Professor of Music and Coordinator of Instructional
Technology.
“Music has always embraced – even pushed – technological
advancement, from Bach’s organ to electric guitars, synthesizers
and computers,” he says, explaining his combined role. “I became
interested in technology, not just for music and performance, but
for music education. Instructional technology in general followed
from that interest.”
Dr. Mobbs received his D.M.A. and M.M. from the University of North
Carolina-Greensboro, his Ed.S. from the University of West Georgia,
and his B.A. from Jacksonville State University.
His instrument of choice is the trombone.
In 2011, Dr. Mobbs opted to give to the general,
unrestricted fund. “I know the Foundation
will use my gift wherever the need is greatest,
whether for scholarships, campus programming
Dr. Kevin Mobbs
or academic programming.”
“I want to see this College be the college of choice for students
who value dynamic courses, an engaged campus, and studying with
collaborative faculty. That’s something for which I’m willing to invest
both my time and my money.”

Donor Spotlight:
Judith A. Bodolay Scholarship
S
tephen and Judy Bodolay lived in Georgia between 1987-2000, while
Stephen served as Legal Counsel to FLETC. Judy volunteered to help
in their youngest daughter’s class at St. Simons Elementary. Instead, she
was promptly hired to work as a paraprofessional. She worked at the
school for over a decade, primarily with the second grade classes.
Although Judy took some courses at the College, she did not opt
for teacher certification because she believed she was able to direct
more of her time to the children as a paraprofessional.
“Judy was very dedicated and deeply loved children,” her husband
recalled. “She became particularly attached to the children who
were bused to St. Simons for school from Dixville, a neighborhood in
downtown Brunswick.”
Judy also volunteered for an after-school tutoring program at
Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Dixville. She would follow the school
buses back to the mainland several afternoons
each week to assist the children with
homework and studies.
“She believed strongly that education is
essential to being a productive, independent
member of society and she wanted those
kids to get a decent education,” he continued.
“When Judy died, I wanted some way to
Judith A. Bodolay
honor her. I knew this scholarship would
not only please her, but also be a fitting memorial to her love for
those children.”
“It is gratifying to realize that some young people from Dixville
are receiving help with their education through this scholarship,” he
concludes. “I know that Judy would be proud of them.”
Leaving a Legacy:
Foundation Launches Planned Giving
T
he Legacy Project was established by the Foundation
in 2011 to assist in developing a comprehensive giving
program linking philanthropic-minded individuals, families,
foundations and corporations with compatible opportunities
at the College.
Educational legacies through planned giving can be made
through charitable gift annuities, trusts, endowments and
scholarship funds as well as through provisions in a will.

Gerald A. Zell Nursing Scholarship
A
udrey Young wished to commemorate her close friend, Gerald
Zell, with an educational legacy tied to the College, in keeping
with the Zell family’s long-standing interest and commitment. As a
result, her estate included a generous bequest to establish the Gerald
A. Zell Nursing Scholarship.
This scholarship program will benefit high-achieving BSN
students. The scholarship will keep the supply line for new nurses
flowing smoothly to the healthcare system. Because of the intensity
of the accelerated nursing program, students are typically unable
to work while completing the course of study, resulting in financial
challenges.
The inaugural recipient will be awarded in fall 2012.

Foundation Support Drives Athletic Expansion
T
he College Foundation has been instrumental in transforming the
athletic programs at Coastal Georgia from just two varsity sports
in 2009 to ten in 2011. A vibrant and successful athletic program is
essential to the total college experience. Among the 2011 highlights:
A Conference to Call Home
The College of Coastal Georgia was accepted into the Southern States
Athletic Conference (SSAC) in mid-summer and accepted into the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in September.
The SSAC currently has 15 member schools in Georgia, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
finished fourth at nationals and the women were sixth. Men’s players
Chase Miller and Shiloh Snow and women’s player Christian Liggin
were named All-Americans.
Going Out with a Title
Competing in its final season as a two-year college in the Georgia
Collegiate Athletic Association, the men’s basketball team won the
regular-season CGAA championship. Enroute to the title, head coach
Gerald Cox claimed his 600th career victory.
A Perfect 4.0
Eight Coastal Georgia student-athletes earned 4.0 GPAs during fall
term, including Dinos Golf Scholarship recipients Dylan Freeman
and Christian Liggin.
Spiking Debut
The new women’s volleyball team competed for the first time this
fall, finishing with a remarkable 15-17 record in its inaugural season.
The Mariners recorded their first win in their second match and kept
a winning record for much of the season before tough competition
and injuries caught up with the team.
Golf Honors
The inaugural season for the men’s and women’s golf teams
was memorable as both teams won their respective conference
championships in 2011 and competed in the National Junior College
Athletic Association national championship tournaments. The men

Back on the Hardwood
The new women’s basketball program started in late October and
ended the year calendar with a record of 10-9. 2011 marked the first
women’s varsity basketball on campus since the women’s program
was disbanded in the mid-1980s.

Scholar athlete and softball
player, Carrie Parker
Carrie Parker
arrie Parker, a freshman member of the Coastal Georgia softball team, completed her first
semester with a perfect 4.0 GPA. She came to Coastal Georgia from Jesup, where she was a
standout on the athletic field and in the classroom at Wayne County High School.
In high school, Carrie played softball and soccer all four years and basketball as a ninth grader.
She won the team Academic Award every year she played on the softball team and also won the
award for two years in soccer. Her softball team members presented her with the Perseverance
Award. On the soccer field, she was a standout sweeper and won the team’s Defensive Award three
times in four seasons.
Carrie says balancing academics and athletics can be difficult, requiring discipline to excel in both
areas. “It’s time-consuming, but you just have to be on top of your game. It’s hard. There’s not a lot
of free time. Even on weekends, I do homework and study.”
Carrie plans to become a pharmacist. She worked in a Jesup pharmacy this summer prior to
starting her college coursework. “When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a doctor,” she explains. “But
now I want to be in the medical field without being in the actual hospital.”
As a student-athlete, she is proud to be a Foundation scholarship recipient. “It’s definitely hard
work,” Carrie concludes. “You have to have extra-curricular activities and also good grades to get one, and
you’re competing against a lot of people. It’s an honor.”
