After years teaching and tutoring in the community, Jennifer Wilson Loggins will focus on student support services in her new role as director of the Brenau University Learning Center.
The Learning Center accommodates the needs of students with learning, physical or psychological disabilities, as well as international and English-as-a-second-language students, and helps them develop skills to overcome these challenges to succeed in the classroom.
Loggins replaces longtime Learning Center Director Vince Yamilkoski, who retired. Yamilkoski had headed the center since 1987. Karen Pfunder, a special education professor, founded the center in 1983. For more than 35 years, it has provided highly specialized services to hundreds of students who otherwise might not have graduated.
For the past two years, Loggins served at Brenau as a learning support tutor, assisting students who have learning differences or who speak English as a second language. An adjunct professor since 2010, she teaches a variety of online courses for the psychology department.
In her role as Learning Center director, she ensures the university is in full compliance with all laws concerning students with disabilities on all campuses of the organization. Additionally, she is responsible for all disability-related services provided by the Learning Center to include test proctoring, tutoring and academic coaching.
She worked most recently for Gateway Domestic Violence Center in Gainesville, first as a domestic violence community outreach educator and then as children’s program coordinator.
