She served as a member of the SACSCOC Board of Trustees from 2008 to 2013 and also as a member of the Committee on Compliance and Reports during that time.

"Thank you for this honor," said Dr. Anglin. "Serving on committees and on the Board of Trustees has been a great experience; to be able to work with and learn from so many wonderful professionals from colleges across our region."
