Andrew Graham has been named Greensboro College’s new Head Athletic Trainer, announced Pride Athletics Director Kim Strable.
Graham comes to Greensboro College from Southeastern Orthopedic Specialists, where he served as the Industrial Rehabilitation Coordinator. Before Southeastern, Graham was the assistant director of community relations at Hughston Sports Medical Hospital in Columbus, GA.
"Andrew is a very talented clinician and is equally impressive as an administrator and educator," said Strable. "He is passionate and enthusiastic about his profession, and we think our athletic training students will benefit greatly from both his mentoring and leadership."
Working in a college environment will be familiar for Graham, who served as Oglethorpe University’s head athletic trainer from 1999 through 2000. At Oglethorpe he led an athletic training program that served over 200 athletes in 10 varsity sports. He also served as a guest lecturer in health-related classes and designed and implemented a patient tracking database to enhance communication between the campus Health and Athletic directors.

He earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Samford University and his Master’s in Health and Administrative Services from Strayer University.
