REMOVE BACKGROUND BEFORE PRINTING

Dr. Tiffany M. Franks Averett University President Dr. Tiffany McKillip Franks became the president of Averett University on July 1, 2008. Through her collaborative, high energy, interpersonal leadership style, Averett has embarked on an exciting voyage of change and growth. The University is a place where big dreams can become bold futures. The University is experiencing record new student enrollment, and is consistently ranked in the Top Tier of Regional Colleges in the South in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges guide. Averett also recently learned that it has been included among Princeton Review’s Best Regional Colleges, that it has been ranked one of Virginia’s top colleges for return on investment by Affordable Colleges Online, and that it has been named one of America’s most military-friendly schools by G.I. Jobs magazine for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, Colleges of Distinction recently announced that Averett has been named a 2013-2014 College of Distinction, “chosen for its continued commitment to the Four Distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes.” With the first-hand knowledge she gained through conversations with constituents, Franks and her leadership team constructed a strategic plan and have embarked on the University’s first comprehensive capital campaign that will grow Averett to becoming a premier higher education leader in Southern Virginia. With 25 years of senior-level administrative experience in higher education that began when she was 23 as the dean of students, Franks’ leadership style and problem-solving expertise have led her through leadership roles in admissions, financial aid, student life, marketing and communications, public relations and fundraising. Before taking the helm at Averett, she served as the executive vice president at Greensboro College in North Carolina. Franks earned her BA from Ohio Dominican University; a master’s of science in education from The Ohio State University; and her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania in higher education management. Franks sees Averett’s role as a community building one and she currently serves on the board of directors for the A.L. Philpott Manufacturing Extending Partnership, the Future of the Piedmont, the Danville Pittsylvania Chamber of Commerce, The Boys and Girls Club and the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research. Franks is the pastchair of the Smart Beginnings Leadership Council of Danville Pittsylvania County and is a member of the Rotary Club of Danville and the Wednesday Club. She is married to Joe Franks, who recently retired as a long-time high school teacher and head men’s and women’s golf coach at Grimsley High School in Greensboro. Joe still serves as the assistant director of the North Carolina Coaches Association.

USA SOUTH CONFERENCE

2 COLOR, WHITE BG

1 COLOR, WHITE BG

One of the oldest Division III conferences in the nation, the USA South Conference was born as the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1963 when six institutions with similar philosophies of academics and athletics joined as founding members. Those colleges were Charlotte College (now UNC-Charlotte), College of Charleston (S.C.), Methodist College (now Methodist University), North Carolina Wesleyan College, St. Andrews Presbyterian College and Lynchburg College. The basis for the new athletic conference was that participation would be strictly amateur, and thus no athletically awarded financial aid or athletic scholarships would be awarded. That philosophy still exists today. In February 2003, it was announced that the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference would change its name to the USA South Athletic Conference. The name change was made official on July 1, 2003, and the first USA South Athletic Conference championships were awarded in the fall of 2003. The Conference was originally affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and remained with that affiliation until 1973. At that time, the NCAA divided into three legislative and competitive divisions, with Division III allowing membership for nonathletic scholarship institutions only.
