UCG Thanks McCall for Service; Welcomes Taylor as New COO

University Center’s McCall Retires After More than 18 Years of Service

UCG Welcomes David Taylor as new Chief Operating Officer

Greenville, S.C. (June 1, 2011) – The University Center of Greenville (UCG) would like to thank and recognize Dr Len McCall for her longstanding leadership and dedication to the center as she retires from her position as Chief Operating Officer. She has served UCG with enthusiasm and excellence to provide access to higher education for non-traditional adult students.

McCall joined UCG in 1993 after teaching in the English departments of both the University of South Carolina and Clemson University. She received her undergraduate degree from Furman University, masters in English from Clemson, and her doctorate in 19th and 20th Century British Literature from USC.

Her interest in providing access for non-traditional students began when she commuted from Greenville first to Clemson and then to Columbia for her graduate degrees. Providing access to citizens in Greenville who can continue their careers and family commitments while also furthering their education through the University Center without a commute continued in her work for UCG as a very personal mission for her. The Board of Trustees, the Board of Visitors and the staff of the University Center gratefully thank her for her years of service.

Joining the UCG team will be Tennessee-native David A. Taylor. As the new Chief Operating Officer, he will provide leadership for Finance and Administration, Human Resources, Information Systems & Services, and Operations.

Taylor has extensive senior leadership experience in finance, accounting, operations, information systems & services, and supply chain management. Prior to joining UCG, his 25-year career included division level and corporate leadership positions at NCR Corporation, Teradata, and AT&T. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from the University of Tennessee and has completed the Advanced Management College program at Stanford University.
