Admissions counselor killed in church shootings

As the world mourns for the nine victims in the Charleston church shootings, Southern Wesleyan University in Central mourns the lost of one of its employees and alumna. DePayne Doctor, admissions coordinator at Southern Wesleyan’s Charleston learning center, was in the Emmanuel AME Church and was among the shooting victims. University President Todd Voss was shocked to hear the news. Doctor began work this past December at SWU’s Charleston facility. She received her BA in biology and life sciences from Columbia College and was an SWU alumna, having received her master’s in management from SWU in 1994. She was an experienced grant writer and had worked with local school districts as a consultant.
