"We are very excited to have Tifani join our team in Statesboro,” said Dr. John Cadle, Interim Provost & VPASA. “She brings with her a wealth of knowledge about higher education and the Statesboro community, which is very important in this role. We look forward to having her lead our EGSC-Statesboro location."
Tifani holds an Associate of Arts from East Georgia State College, a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Georgia, and a Master of Education degree from Georgia Southern University.
Tifani is originally from Swainsboro, Georgia, and is the daughter of Jill H. Landing of Swainsboro and Bobby H. Landing of Millen. She resides in Statesboro with her husband, Scot Pool, and their son, Ellis, who is a 5-year-old kindergarten student who loves to ride elevators.
