College will become university on July 1
Fulfilling a longtime dream of many graduates, students, faculty, benefactors and regional leaders, Middle Georgia State College is on the brink of officially becoming a university.
The institution’s name will be Middle Georgia State University, with the status and name change becoming effective on July 1, 2015. The University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents unanimously approved the changes at its March 18 meeting in Atlanta. The board also approved Middle Georgia’s first master’s degree program – in information technology – which will roll out this fall.
Dr. Christopher Blake, Middle Georgia’s president, said the region will benefit in many ways from the institution’s status as a state university.
“Today’s vote is an important milestone—a moment first foretold nearly three years ago, when the board resolved to create Middle Georgia State College out of Macon State College and Middle Georgia College,” said Blake. “I am excited about the opportunities university status will allow us to provide for Middle Georgia, and grateful to the many people who have supported our journey from consolidation to this momentous occasion.”
“We sought to better serve our students and the region when we decided to create Middle Georgia, a consolidated institution, nearly three years ago,” said University System Chancellor Hank Huckaby. “Today, we are seeing the benefits of that consolidation by creating Georgia’s newest university that expands degree offerings tailored for the region and designed to meet our state’s workforce needs.”
Regent Larry Walker said, “Middle Georgia State College and its predecessor institutions have been a driver of economic and cultural vitality in this region for more than 130 years. Today’s vote to make Middle Georgia our state’s newest university should make us all proud—especially visionaries like former Board of Regents Chair Bob Hatcher and former Regent Mansfield Jennings, who foresaw the potential of increasing opportunities for higher education in Middle Georgia.”
