Dr. Catherine King, professor of physical education, is no stranger to hard work.

Not only does she act as the site director for the Marietta campus of Georgia Highlands College as well as fulfill her duties as physical education coordinator for the Floyd campus, she also finds time to teach classes there.

King recently accepted her position as site director for the Marietta campus at the request of Dr. Virginia Carson, vice president of academic affairs.

She said that the decision to accept the position was influenced by her desire to learn more about GHC operations and to work with the students in a different way. She also says that she filled the need for another physical education instructor at the campus, as there wasn't one at all there before.

During the few hours that she isn't working, King enjoys walking her dogs, reading, watching college football and mostly just catching up on sleep. But with working all those different jobs, King stresses that time to herself is rare.

"I don't have much free time," said King, "I do work at least five to six hours over the weekends, especially on my online course."

Working all the time doesn't faze King at all, however, and she still remains optimistic about all of her duties and responsibilities.

"I enjoy what I am doing at Marietta, especially the interactions with students not in my classes and the interactions with the Southern Polytechnic State University faculty, staff and administration," King said.
