“Cheryl Dozier will do an excellent job handling day-to-day coordination of UGA academic programs offered in Gwinnett and helping develop new programs,” says Bob Boehmer, UGA’s associate provost for institutional effectiveness and the person to whom Dozier will report.
“Dr. Dozier brings a unique combination of skills to this important role. She is highly accomplished as a teacher, a researcher and an administrator and understands the needs of the Gwinnett University Center and the community.”
Dozier holds a bachelor’s degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University, a master’s in social work from Atlanta University’s School of Social Work and a doctoral degree from Hunter College’s School of Social Welfare. She is currently vice president of the National Association of Black Social Workers.
