You're welcome UGA's Visitors Center opened in the Four Towers Building on College Station Road in 1996 under the direction of Fran Lane. Columns spoke with her recently about progress and plans for the center. Through December of 2000, the total number of visitor contacts was 146,000.
Contacts means visitors and phone contacts.
Right now we've got 26. We're in the process of hiring new student staff that we will train for about seven or eight weeks, and then they will come on board as our seniors are graduating. The kind of young people who apply for our jobs are great. The way we do that is with a student staff. Our tour guides have a lot of responsibility, because in many instances they are the first or even the only contact that somebody has with the University of Georgia.
