"I used to dream about someday returning to Dixie as the dean of students and now that dream has come true," Beatty said. "My higher education career has come full circle and has led me back to where it all started. My family and I are thrilled to return to Dixie and we look forward to rekindling old friendships and acquainting our children with the 'Dixie Spirit.'"
