Charles Wilcox, Jr. (charlesw1@gordonstate.edu)

What does it feel like to know that you have found your place in this world? It has been a long road for me, but I finally found mine, serving students as they try to find their place in the world. My name is Charles Wilcox and I am here as a Student Success Advisor to happily serve all of you - the students here at Gordon State College. Born on October 11, 1977, I was raised the first of eight children (only 5 lived in our house; I have a stepbrother and two stepsisters as well) in Michigan for the first 22 years of my life before moving to Tennessee, where I spent the next 22 years. Family is very important to me and even though I moved three hours away from them, I am still close to mine. The values of hard work, dedication and compassion that I had instilled in me by my mom at a young age are  values that I bring to the table in my exciting new career here at Gordon. I want all of you to feel free to come to my office no matter what it is that you might need to discuss or if you just want to say hello (and a few O-H-I-O chants is always nice too - GO BUCKEYES). Remember, I am happy to serve all of you.  Highlanders Forward!
