The Eager-to-Learn Coordinator 's duties include coordinating the delivery of all online courses, recruiting/selecting/supporting instructors, providing support for all prospective and current students, and develop/maintain policies and procedures based on effective online education practices. Cory Woosley continues to shine in this role!

We are currently interviewing candidates for this position and hope to have another wonderful addition to our staff very soon!
