The Savannah College of Art and Design has hired Eddie Federwisch as the new director of equestrian programs. Federwisch joins SCAD from Virginia Intermont College where he served as director of equine studies for the past 18 years, leading his teams to victory in the IHSA Collegiate Cup in 2004, 2005 and 2007. Federwisch brings to SCAD more than 30 years of equestrian experience in riding instruction, show management and team coaching, in addition to his credential as a licensed judge for the U.S. Equestrian Federation.

One of Federwisch’s first duties, in addition to teaching, will be to lead the search for a new academic program coordinator for equestrian studies at SCAD. Federwisch’s leadership, with the support of the new faculty and staff members mentioned below, as well as Coach Ashley Kelly, promises to enhance SCAD’s already innovative equestrian studies offerings.
