Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College issued the following announcement on Jan. 31.
A familiar face recently returned to the campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College when Dr. Corey Langston was selected for the role of Director of Residence Life and Housing.
Langston previously served as ABAC’s Assistant Director of Residence Life and Housing from 2013 to 2020. He said he is excited to be back home.
“I believe that working with students is a calling, a privilege, and a gift,” Langston said. “I’m committed to creating an inclusive, engaging, and transformative residential experience for all students living on campus at ABAC.”
During his time as Assistant Director, Langston oversaw the operations of all housing units and coordinated summer camps for the college. In his new capacity, he will be taking on a much bigger leadership role with added responsibilities.
Langston has touched more than Residence Life while on ABAC’s campus. He has supervised the residential component of the Upward Bound Program and worked closely with personnel in the Office of the Dean of Students.
When asked what his goals were for the department, Langston said, “I want to create opportunities for student growth and success, improve student retention rates, and promote academic success through programming and collaboration.”
A few of Langston’s favorite memories on campus from his previous stint are the annual Spring Fling and Fall Festival. He said he enjoys planning fun and educational programs for students and enjoys getting the chance to interact with those students.
ABAC houses over 1,300 students on campus in apartment-style complexes at ABAC Place and ABAC Lakeside.
