University Advancement

As a 1987 Lander alum, I know the value of a Lander education. It has made a positive difference in my life. As a South Carolina legislator for 10 years, I know the concerns that the people of South Carolina have regarding their families and their families’ futures. As a former public affairs specialist with State Farm Insurance, I know the importance that business and industry play in helping our citizens to realize their potential and to live productive lives.
Now, in my new role as Lander’s vice president for University Advancement, I look forward to serving Lander but more importantly to serving those whom Lander serves. Lander has always been about people, the people who come here for an education and who go out to become leaders in their communities. It is about the people who teach those future leaders and who serve as mentors to those future leaders. It is about faculty and staff whose efforts enrich life on campus, in Greenwood and beyond, and it is about the business and civic leaders who support Lander in its education and cultural initiatives.
I ask your help in building on the efforts of the Lander community and on the efforts of Eleanor Teal, who served so ably for 11 years as your vice president for University Advancement. I invite your ideas and suggestions as we work together to advance Lander University and ultimately to advance the lives of our students and alumni. I look forward to meeting with as many of you as possible over the coming year. You can also reach me at 864-388-8350 or by e-mail at ataylor@lander.edu.
It’s great to be back home at Lander.

Vice President for University Advancement
