Dear Campus Community:

I am pleased to inform you that Ms. Rhonda Fowler has joined Georgia College & State University as our new chief audit officer. Ms. Fowler has over 20 years of experience in service-oriented accounting and operations. She has a track record of successfully leading organizations through process improvement initiatives and improving institutional effectiveness.

Most recently, Ms. Fowler worked at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology since 2019. She served in a multifaceted position supporting the school’s administration, faculty and central office in broad areas related to human resources, staffing, payroll, benefits, hospitality, accounting, risk management and facilities.

Ms. Fowler has deep expertise in financial analysis, policies and procedures, campus operations and administrative reporting.

Academically, Ms. Fowler earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in professional accountancy from Mississippi State University. I know that GCSU will benefit greatly from her knowledge and expertise.
