| Biography: | Cassie Lee Napier brings over two decades of higher education experience in the University System of Georgia, as staff, faculty, and student having earned three degrees from Georgia College & State University – a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management Information Systems, a Master of Management Information Systems, and a Master of Logistics & Supply Chain Management – along with serving in roles such as Academic Advisor and Graduate Recruiter as well as being an adjunct faculty member from 2017-2026. Her work spans enterprise data systems, CRM implementation, curriculum design, enrollment strategy, and she co-authored a peer-reviewed publication on NoSQL database technologies. Identifying most authentically as a connector - someone who bridges academia, technology, logistics, and the people moving among them - she finds the School of Business core values of Access, Diversity, and Continuous Improvement to be a natural fit for the work she has always done, and is glad to bring that alignment to the classroom. |
