Frederick George Named Dean of Students at Emory & Henry College

Posted by Haley Arni

Emory & Henry College proudly promoted Frederick George, ’11 ’13, as the Dean of Students in preparation for the fall 2023 semester. In this new role, George will be responsible for coordinating College resources for student activities and programs on campus, establishing strong relationships with students and fostering an atmosphere of inclusion and engagement.

“The opportunity to make a difference in young adults’ lives through higher education is a blessing and a privilege that I do not take lightly,” said George. “Several exciting developments are happening right now; the Division of Student Affairs has an amazing opportunity to capitalize on positive momentum at Emory & Henry.”

George, from Lithonia, Ga., brings nine years of higher education experience to the position. As the Dean of Students, George will provide oversight across the Student Affairs Division. The Student Affairs Division includes Campus Recreation, Student Activities, Housing & Residence Life, Student Conduct and New Student Experience.

George also brings a unique perspective as Dean of Students at Emory & Henry. George graduated from Emory & Henry in 2011 with his undergraduate degree in sport management and again in 2013 with his graduate degree in community & organizational leadership. Additionally, George played football for the Wasps during his time at Emory & Henry as a student-athlete. With this history, George proudly ensures his continued dedication to a student-first approach when supporting and conducting activities and programs on campus as he moves from his previous position as the director of new student experience.

“I am thrilled and honored to be the Dean of Students at my alma mater. My ultimate goal is to help students reach their full potential. I have amazing staff members that are excited to implement new strategic initiatives to enhance the student experience,” said George.
