Bass Chosen As VSU Bookstore Director
Bethanie Bass has been named director of the Valdosta State
University bookstore. Rob Kellner, director of auxiliary services,
conducted a nation-wide search for applicants.
"We are excited about the potential and energy Bethanie brings to
the position," Kellner said.
Bass began her new assignment in May. She had been the general
merchandise manager for the bookstore since 1999.
She will work not only within the bookstore, but also in
conjunction with the other operations managed by the bookstore.
These operations include the store on Kings Bay campus and the
markets in Langdale and Centennial Hall.
"My goals for the operations on campus are to maintain the same
quality of service and to continue to grow with the university,"
Bass said.
She was recently named one of the future leaders of the bookstore
industry in College Store Executive's 20 Women To
Watch.
Bass earned her undergraduate degree from Louisiana State
University and taught English for seven years in La. before moving
