Ogeechee Technical College has announced the appointment of Lisa Meehan as the new Dean for Academic Affairs, with a focus on health sciences. Meehan brings more than two decades of experience in healthcare education and administration to the position.

In her new role, Meehan will oversee curriculum development, faculty support, and student success initiatives across the college's health science programs.

Meehan says she is excited to join the team and looks forward to helping students succeed. She plans to start by meeting with faculty and reviewing current program outcomes. Her first day on campus is set for early next month.
