Dalton State College is introducing its first intercollegiate athletics program director, a step that brings it closer to its goal of becoming a traditional four-year college.
“This is a historic time in the life of our college,” said John Schwenn, president at Dalton State. “[It] will bring a vibrancy to our campus that we hope will spill over the community and region.”
The new athletic director is Derek Waugh, now assistant athletic director for Stetson University in DeLand, Fla.
There will be a news conference at 11 a.m. today at Dalton State to introduce Waugh, an Atlanta native, and his family.
