(Go Dawgs!) He returned to UGA to complete a Master of Environmental Planning and Design in which he focused on studying built environments for professional and graduate learning in developing economies.
Prior to joining Florida Atlantic University, Dr. Wyatt served as the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and an Assistant Professor of Education Research at Augusta University (home to the Medical College of Georgia).
