Wynne’s career with CGTC began in 2004 when she developed the Health Sciences Division’s Hemodialysis program which was the first of its kind in the state. She is recognized as a leader in her field serving on several state and national boards including Georgia’s ESRD Advisory Council to the Governor, the National Kidney Foundation, and ESRD Network 6, formerly known as the Southeastern Kidney Council. As a leader for her field and advocate for students, Wynne consistently encourages her graduates to pursue the most out of their career.
As she embraces this opportunity to advocate for technical instruction as CGTC’s RPA Winner, she is confident in her ability to represent the College well saying, “It’s because of my passion and strong belief in our mission to build a better community through technical education.”

“I had thought many times to myself about how I could change my life,” Brumley said. “But I was always making excuses as to why I couldn’t or shouldn’t do this.” In August 2021, she enrolled in the Adult Education program and began pursuing her GED®, something she thought would only ever be a “dream.”
In March 2022, Brumley represented CGTC at the Dinah Culbreth Wayne EAGLE Leadership Institute in Atlanta amongst other EAGLE delegates from the Technical College System of Georgia.

The Meaning of Academic Dress
The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were taking form. The ordinary dress of the scholar was that of a cleric, whether the scholar was a student or teacher. Long gowns were worn and may have been necessary for warmth in unheated buildings. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap.
A statute of the University of Coimbra in 1321 required that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” wear gowns. In England, in the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. In the days of Henry VIII of England, Oxford and Cambridge first began prescribing a definite academic dress and made it a matter of university control. The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was to be a much later development, and one which was to be standardized only in the United States in the late 19th century.
In America, an Intercollegiate Commission made up of representatives of leading institutions was formed to establish a standardized system of academic apparel. The Commission met at Columbia University in 1895 and adopted a code of academic dress that regulated the cut and style and materials of the gowns and prescribed the colors which were to represent the different fields of learning. In 1932, a committee appointed by the American Council on Education approved a code for academic costumes that has been in effect since that year. The American Council on Education revised and updated the code in 1959 and 1986.
