University Stores Staff
Bethanie B. Brogdon became director of the University Stores on May 1, 2005, after serving as Merchandise Manager since 1999. She earned her degree
in English and Theatre from Louisiana State University in 1989. The first seven years of Bethanie's career were spent in the high school classroom teaching senior English in East Baton Rouge. After moving to Valdosta, she began working part-time in the VSU Bookstore in the operations department. From there she moved to a full-time position in the textbook department until she became the Merchandise Manager which occurred in conjunction with the move into the new bookstore. In addition to her work on campus, Bethanie teaches English classes at night for the local branch of Georgia Military College.
A main consideration and goal for her has been to better establish and build relationships with different departments on campus. Bethanie is currently working with the Alumni Association to provide a better selection of merchandise to the Alumni of Valdosta State University. She works closely with other departments on campus in the planning and facilitation of Grad Finale which is held each semester for graduating students of VSU. Faculty and staff members often contact Bethanie for merchandise they need for special projects and programs on campus. Bethanie also works on special projects with the Athletic Department.
