Debra Gates

I joined Fanning Institute in 2002 as morning receptionist. Following a departmental expansion, my position became full-time in 2005. Currently I am at the reception desk Tuesdays-Fridays. If you have questions or need to contact any of our faculty or staff, it's my pleasure to direct you to the proper person or resource. My background is in nursing, travel and administrative positions. Prior to my service at Fanning, I was administrative assistant for Workers Comp at University of Georgia Human Resources. In 2007, it was my honor to receive a Public Service and Outreach Staff Employee of the Year Award. Reserving meeting space in our Training Room, Board Room, and Conference Room is among my duties at Fanning, as well as booking our Outdoor Learning Lab. If you have need of meeting space, please take an online tour of our facilities. If you have questions or would like to schedule an on-site visit, I will be happy to assist you. I look forward to speaking with you on the phone, via e-mail or in person.
