I am proud that ‘one of our own’ has accepted a management position with the college board, headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.”

Morgan went on to say in the e-mail that Coleman, in her new title of senior education manager of higher education services, will be in charge of higher education products relating to recruitment, admission and financial aid. In addition to this, she will work with community and private and public colleges, as well as universities in the Western Regional Office, located in the San Francisco Bay area.
