Employee Comment

Dalton State is a small teaching college in a small community sitting between two larger metropolitan areas. The students are diverse and love being part of the Dalton State community. We have a growing and strong base of alumni. Our new president has a vision and is great to work for and with. Our leadership team is experienced and well respected. They are accessible and easy to talk with. I do not see myself working anywhere else and enjoy serving at the pleasure of our president.
