"I am grateful to Dr. Steven Lloyd, vice provost, for chairing the search for this position and the committee for leading this important work.

"I am thrilled to start this new adventure in my career. I am excited to start a capstone assignment where I can merge my experiences and relationships to further the influence of Â鶹ÊÓƵ in the Cumming and Forsyth County area," Crowe said. "I cherish the opportunity to be more directly engaged with our awesome students."
