He served in that role until he was selected to be the associate vice president for academic affairs in summer 2016.

Dr. Xavier Whitaker will be assuming the role of interim vice president for student affairs and enrollment management. Dr. Whitaker is a trusted part of senior leadership, having served as associate vice president of student life for more than three years. During his 20 years in higher education before coming to UWG, Dr. Whitaker was a vice president and chief student affairs officer at East Texas Baptist University, but the bulk of his experience was at Baylor University and the University of Texas at Austin, serving in both leadership and teaching roles.

RecycleMania 2019
RecycleMania is a national competition in which colleges and universities set recycling benchmarks, strive to increase recycling rates and work to educate the community about recycling and sustainability. Recycle West has participated in RecycleMania since 2015. The competition will run through Sunday, March 31.
During this time, faculty, staff and students have an opportunity to directly participate in the university's sustainability efforts by recommitting to recycling on campus. The first step for each person is to take the “pledge,” committing to learn about recycling on campus. After pledging, find out more by attending one of the recycling education sessions during the competition and engaging in recycling and other sustainable practices. Click
here for more information or send an email to
recycle@westga.edu.
