A Tribute to Dr. Carol Taylor
“Carol Taylor is an inspiration to female leaders everywhere She has encouraged me as a young female leader to dream big, and always have a willing heart to serve and to listen to God’s voice above all else. Also, every time she sees me she always whispers, ‘Girl Power!’”
“I love how Carol’s faith is like a rock, and how her life is built on a strong foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. When I talk with her, she naturally relates situations and happenings to the Word of God. How beautiful a life is that!” Dr. Dixie ArnolD FAculty MeMber
“It is hard to think of anyone that more embraces the mission of Vanguard more than Dr. Taylor. I have seen her honor God in her words, integrity and actions. Before making a major decision she would often take time to be alone in prayer and contemplation to best discern God’s will. Carol cared deeply for Vanguard. Regardless of how busy her schedule was, it was not unusual for her to make time and share a cup of coffee with a student or parent who stopped by her offce to just say, ‘Hi.’”

“Carol challenged me professionally, coached me to become a better leader, embraced me during times of personal sadness, and taught me to be more grateful. Carol was always more concerned with how I was doing than what I was doing. She trusted and acknowledged my expertise. I am grateful for the years I worked for and Kim Johnson with Carol.”
