Six graduates from Georgia College & State University were featured on the cover of Business Week magazine in early September, as part of a promotion program that recognizes accomplishments and service contributions of students, faculty and alumni.
The special wrap is produced in conjunction with GCSU’s use of Business Week in some courses at the school. Georgia College’s long relationship with Business Week provides an outlet for the school to highlight some of what its graduates are doing now. Complimentary copies of the magazine were mailed to some area businesses in early September.
The cover features graduates Trey Suter, Mike Madison, Rob Tate, Chandler Bowers, Guy Caldwell and Matt Cagle as well as the CEO of Possible Now, Scott Frey. All six graduates work for Possible Now which is a multi-faceted Duluth company featuring service ranging from marketing, customer service, product management to systems
development.
The wrap also updates careers of other graduates including O.M. Tony Nicely who is now Chairman, President and CEO of GEICO Companies. Kimberly Cox is with the training and development, learning resources team at Chick-fil-A while Getra Thomason is a senior manager of new store development at Chick-fil-A. Pierre O. Clements is vice president of national sales in the food service division of the Coca-Cola company while Tom Cummings is sales operations manager in the retail division for Coca-Cola.
In addition to career updates, the magazine cover highlights recent events at the J. Whitney Bunting School of Business at Georgia College and promotes its business programs as well as the new center for graduate and professional learning at the campus in downtown Macon.
According to statistics from the school, there are 1,200 business school undergraduate students and 150 graduate students currently attending Georgia College.
