Tom Willard, ‘11
Bachelor of Business Administration, finance concentration
“As a senior leader in information technology, I recognize the value of education. While I had many offers from more well-known schools, I chose Georgia Gwinnett because it was the one place where I would not be just another number, and by far, it offered very high-quality education at a better price than most. Beyond that, it was an opportunity to create a beloved institution that has become a foundation of excellence. The experience at GGC is exceptional, and you know that by asking anyone their story of ‘why.’”
