This includes administering space allocation and management of the new Convocation Center along with the campus' fleet management, event management and schedule systems management, and other special campuswide projects.

Wilson will also help increase GGC's community awareness and partnerships in Lawrenceville and surrounding Gwinnett County.

Under Wilson's athletic director leadership, GGC's six intercollegiate programs have had unprecedented national and conference successes.

Each team has achieved top-10 national rankings.

The quality of GGC's athletic facilities have helped its programs host NAIA Opening Round competitions and bring visitors to Lawrenceville and Gwinnett County.
