DYAL NAMED MANAGER OF ABAC BOOKSTORE

TIFTON—Tracy Dyal is the new manager of the campus bookstore at Abraham Baldwin College.

Dyal has a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Valdosta State University, and she is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Public Administration. She worked in VSU’s bookstore for eight years, where she was operations manager.

“At VSU, I was under a director,” Dyal said.  “This brings me many opportunities and gives me a change of scenery.

“Right now, I am still getting my feet wet, and things are still new to me. But I am interested in possibly implementing new products into the bookstore once I am acclimated to the position.”

Dyal is very interested in continuing to work with her vendor contacts.

 Valdosta’s bookstore definitely differs in size, but this job means more responsibility on a smaller scale,” Dyal said. “I am looking forward to it.”

Dyal replaces Emory Johnson who is retiring in June after 32 years of service.
