Inauguration Day at Atlanta Metropolitan College

Dr. Gary McGaha was formally installed on Oct. 17 as the third president of Atlanta Metropolitan College (AMC). The ceremony capped three days of special events at the two-year access institution, including a convocation, a sunset jazz concert and AMC Community Day. The latter provided a means to further enhance the relationship between the college and the community via campus tours, a health and wellness fair, a political forum and forums on early admission and dual enrollment. McGaha was AMC’s newly appointed vice president for academic affairs when he was called on to serve as interim president in January 2007. Student enrollment at AMC has increased 30 percent since Fall 2006 and is now at an all-time high.
