It’s been nearly a year since Ray Perren took the helm at Lanier Technical College this past April, with the months since spent to better get to know the faculty. Now he’s beginning to implement internal changes, with the aim of organizing the rapidly expanding school to accommodate more students and new academic programs. The college, with campuses in Oakwood, Dawsonville, Cumming, Winder and Commerce, has seen a nearly 12 percent enrollment increase over this past year for the upcoming fall semester.
