MAE/MAT off to Excellent Start with New Director

In March, the Office of Adult and Graduate Studies launched two new master’s programs in Education, aimed at working adults. The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is for current teachers who want to obtain a graduate level degree, providing teachers with professional development and opportunities for career advancement.

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) is for individuals who want to transition to teaching career at the elementary or secondary level, and already hold an undergraduate degree.

The program had a terrific start in its first semester with 58 students at three sites. Dr. John Raymer, formerly superintendent of the Germantown Elementary School District, joined GC on July 1 as director for both programs. His work involves developing class offerings as well.

Raymer brings to Greenville College over 30 years of experience as a classroom teacher at the elementary, high school and community college levels, in addition to serving as principal of elementary and high schools, with ten years as a district superintendent.
